That's fantastic, Ali, thanks and many congratulations! :-)

One small linguistic note -- in the "More Ranges" chapter, it may 
be better to call your example range "Opposite" rather than 
"Inverse".  In a strict mathematical sense you're correct -- 
swapping sign gives you the additive inverse -- but in a more 
colloquial sense the term "inverse" is usually in English assumed 
to be the multiplicative inverse.

This is to an extent a matter of taste, of course, so feel free 
to ignore me.
