Paul, >>>Do you REALLY believe what you have written ?<<< That's right. It's about debits and credits. Whole real numbers (not imaginary numbers, hopefully) carried out to 4 or 5 decimal places (at most). Addition, subtraction, some multiplication and perhaps once in a while some division. Calculus, differential equations, trignometry, geometry are not needed. You don't need any more mathematics than that to balance the books, make projections, and calculate profit and loss - whether you are talking about a $10M a year business or a $30B a year business. Use a calculator or a spread sheet, if you need it. I know you engineers would like to make this a lot more complicated than that, but I don't think so. Mary
