negative numbers Explanation: Vind ik een betere oplossing dan deb(i)t - verwarrend (& fout dus). For a long time, negative solutions to problems were considered "false" because they could not be found in the real world (in the sense that one cannot, for example, have a negative number of seeds). The abstract concept was recognised as early as 100 B.C. – 50 B.C. A Chinese work, Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art (Jiu-zhang Suanshu), contains methods for finding the areas of figures; red counting rods were used to denote positive coefficients, black rods for negative. The Chinese were also able to solve simultaneous equations involving negative numbers. The ancient Indian Bakhshali Manuscript, which was written at some time between 200 B.C. and A.D. 300, [1] carried out calculations with negative numbers, using "+" as a negative sign. These are the earliest known uses of negative numbers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_non-negative_numbe... |
