Compound Interest on a Slide Rule
Ғылым және технология
Following up on the Radiometric Dating video, we look at Euler's number (e) and how it is used to evaluate exponential growth and decay. Here we look at compound interest (periodic and continuous) and how to calculate it on a slide rule using the LL scales.

Great video, points up what my banking employee son-in-law told my daughter. “________ we never pay interest on depreciating assets.”
Thank you, Bob, for your video. Albert Einstein once said that compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it.

There are some excellent tutorials on KZread
Fantastic video series. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this great series on slide rules. It refreshed much of what I learned in the early 70's and taught me a number of things that I didn't previously know. I'll continue to follow your channel to see what you have in store for the future.

thank you. I have a couple videos to update and I'm working on the trig series. I'm back in school now and may turn some of my homework into videos. Pre Calc, Calc and Diff Eq.

Thanks. This - like the carbon dating - helps a lot in better understanding how to use the LL scales. Also looking forward to the high-school trigonometry course. Definitively need to polish up my skills in that area 😉

Coming soon!
Love this one. Can you do more practical calculations?

I will probably release some more in the future.
Mathematical nitpick. e isn't the integral from 0 to ∞ of (1+1/n)^n, it's the limit as n -> ∞ of (1+1/n)^n.

thanks, I should have used better notation and I'm not implying it is an integral. I feel I described it correctly, but didn't use the right notation.
Interesting
