Bus/Financial - Finance (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: 'in min' | Person here is talking about an in-house training course he's done: finance for non-financial managers (initiates people with no financial training into the mysteries of financial management). X is the cargo handling company he works for.
“Als ik nu het financieel verslag van X inkijk, schrik ik niet meer van wat ‘in min’ staat. Ik kan de verschillende kostenposten beter interpreteren, bijvoorbeeld dat onder de kostprijs van een kraan ook de afschrijving ervan thuishoort.”

9 hrs confidence: 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.
