Many combinatorial formulas include positive and negative values. It might first seem that a bijection is not the proper tool for dealing with these formulas. This is not the case, however. Such formulas can sometimes be proved by using an involution on a signed set. In fact, involutions may be used to prove theorems seemingly unrelated to combinatorics. This will be done in Section 3 for the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem.
