f(x)=A₀(1+i)^x
Function Definitions
Discrete:
A function that has specific data set.
Aka: several points in data.
Ex: # of students in a class, only a set #
as you cannot have 1/2 of a student.
Recursive:
A function that calls upon previous
numbers within the function.
Ex: the Fibonacci sequence that
uses the previous numbers in the sequence
to make the new number.
tn=t(n-1)....
Continuous:
A function where numbers can be
any value within a set.
Ex: time it took to complete some task
at any point you could say 1/2 of a second,
1 microsecond,
1 minute but there is a defined set if the task for example took 10 minutes.

Series / Sequences
Series
A series is a set of numbers that
have an end to them.
Ex: the keys on a keyboard
Sequence
A sequence is a set of numbers
that have no set end to them.
Ex: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ... this would go on
forever
Arithmetic
Arithmetic Series / Sum Formula
Sn=n(a+tn)/2
Sn=n(2a+d(n-1))/2

Geometric Series / Sum Formula
Sn=a(r^n-1)/r-1
Financial Applications
Annuities
Present Value
PV=R(1-(1+i)^-n)/i
Future Value
FV=R(((1+i)^n)-1)/i
Annuities are compounding
interests where you are
adding more money into
the account as time goes
on, alongside with the
interest earned on the money
from before.
Compounding Interest
A=P(1+i)^n
The interest is the rate, r,
by the compounding period.
The time, n, is
the amount of time multiplied
by the compounding period.
Simple Interest
I=Prt
A=P+I
