Re: Present Value
Hi MIF;
Looks good. Thanks for the page.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi;
For someone whose business acumen consists of only knowing when they overcharged me it is quite intimidating. But I think I got it!

Re: Present Value
Hi MathsIsFun
Been away, so only just seen this. Looks good and it is clear.
Just one suggestion.
About 3/4 down, where you are using a calculator, you say
1.10 to power 6 is better than 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10
Could you say is quicker to calculate ?

Quicker is better, so better will become quicker.
