***TYPO*** At 14:18 I completely drop the P and write just e^rt as opposed to Pe^rt for continuous interest. Doh! Thanks again to Maplesoft for sponsoring today's video, make sure to check out Maple Learn here: www.maplesoft.com/products/learn/?p=TC-9857
Yes Dr Bazett. The Amount A = P x e^rt. While explaining the same in Calculus- this Compound Interest formula is invoked first as you did and then set P=1, we get the value of e in the limit as n ---> infinity. Of course this is deduced by actual calculations! Thanks Dr. I would like you to consider explaining in this "Financial Math" video series how calculate the EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) of a mortgage loan used for buying cars, houses etc. No school or College course gives this stuff and all one gets to do is to use the plethora of "Calculator Tools" freely available on the Net. It would be great if you can get down to the Math behind these calcualtions. Looking forward to 1your video in this series. As always, you are the best Math teacher who can explain such the math behind mundane stuff like finance, to advanced calclulus. I enjoy all of it. Keep going Professor!!
I like 👍 your video class, Now I have a BIG QUESTION IF YOU CAN EXPLAINED, not just to me but to everyone who is interested . Here is the question : in all three scenarios you presented in this video, if I want to add the ANUAL INFLATIONARY coefficient, how I can do that knowing that INFLATION is doferent from one year to onother. Thank You very much.
Benjamin Franklin "Money makes money. And the money that money makes, makes money." That is probably the simplest explanation of compound interest you'll ever hear. Albert Einstein " compound interest is the most powerful in the universe "

After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?
Concentrate on two main objectives. First and foremost, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks to reduce losses and maximize gains. Second, prepare yourself to gain from a market turnaround. I advise you to seek the advice of a representative or financial counselor

Thank you, kind sir. This is such a simple explanation and easy to understand. I'm back in school pursuing an engineering degree and I always like to understand the WHY behind the formulas provided. You've earned another subscriber. Have a blessed day.
I'm doing Class 10 AP Mathematics, and you're my go to for revision and recaps, thank you for the outstanding time, effort and thought you put in these videos to make it easier for our understanding!
Thanks! I'm not 100% where this will look like down the road, basically the plan is to start at the basics and build up. I do think we will get to more advanced concepts like portolio risk but we shall see:D
Very nice explanation, thanks. But I believe you need to have the factor P on the RHS in the final line…otherwise the initial amount would not matter at all.
Amazing as always Dr. Trefor, may I suggest Stock and shres, dividend, market value, brokerage for the upcoming video on Money Math series....Thank you
Great video! One thing that always bothered me is the way that interest is calculated for periods different than a year (not about your video, but the concept itself): the time is adjusted proportionally to the quantity of periods: nt; the ratio is proportionally adjusted to the inverse of the quantity of periods: r/n. Here is the problem: the time is adjusted while being an exponent, while the growth factor (not the interest rate) should be adjusted by inverse of the quantity of periods as an exponent, becoming a root: (1 + r )^t = [ (1 + r)^(1/n) ]^(nt), which (1 + r)^(1/n) would be a new growth factor, having a different interest rate than r/n, say R, compounded for each one nth of a year, as follows: (1 + R) = (1 + r)^(1/n), (1 + R)^n = (1 + r), (1 + nR + C(n,2)*R^2 + ... + C(n - 2,n)*R^(n - 2) + n*R^(n-1) + R^n) = (1 + r); Dismissing all the powers of R greater than one, it is possible to conclude: (1 + r) = (1 + nR + … + R^n) > (1 + nR), since R > 0. So: 1 + nR < 1 + r, which yields R < r/n. Now, using the standard adjustment, r/n would be effectively greater than it should be to make both situations equivalent: compounding once a year or n times a year. So, the formulas would not be equivalent. Instead, it would be a way to increase the actual annual interest without explicit saying so. This is also true for the continuous case since e^r - 1 is greater than r (r > 0 which can be verified by Taylor expansion on e^r - 1). Also, as expected for being the limit when n goes to infinity, the difference between the adjusted rate (e^r-1) and the actual rate r will increase as r gets bigger. Another way to visualize the difference would be to focus that the factor e^r has an exponential graph while the standard adjustment factor (1 + r) has a line as its graph and is also exactly tangent to e^r at r = 0. Together with the second derivative of e^r being always positive, this will yield that e^r > 1 + r, for all real r. Does this make sense? or am I missing something?
I understand everything you said in the video, it makes sense. However, what confuses me is that I was always under the impression that the formula for simple interest was this: i = P•r•t. I still see similarities to A = (1 + tr), but I’m wondering when is it appropriate to either.
Amazing as always, this is such an important subject to focus on. As a more mathematics oriented watcher, I was wondering if you are going to make videos on more complex subjects such as tensors, abstract algebra or curvilinear coordinates. Either way, keep on the great work!
A tensor video is definitely on the list. I’ve debated abstract algebra, but this is (often, not always) a little less geocentric so I’m not sure if I can add so much they way my animations help vector calculus for instances
Brilliant as always! I just wanted to ask that whether we can expect a STATs course on this channel since that is the only one that remains out of the core Math requirements of Computer Science? Thank you.
haha, the most common request lol! Ok full disclosure: I am NOT a statistician so I could do a bad job tomorrow, but to do a really good job I need to improve a good amount first. So it will happen, but neither of my two planned series for his summer is stats:D
Dr. The direction of value investing is actually aiming for "compounding interest". Compounding interest is actually talking about compounding dividend. A growth stock which consistently pay dividends, consists of “Intrinsic Value Compounding” and “Dividend Compounding”. Rather than saying “Intrinsic Value Compounding” is being invented, i would say that “Intrinsic Value Compounding” is rather a discovery of a buried compounding inherited in a consistently growing stock. Nobody knows there is so called “intrinsic value compouding” except Buffett, Munger and Li Lu. I am very sure about this argument. If you want to have a breakthrough in the new value investing, i suggest you start to do research on “Intrinsic Value Compounding". Logic and reasoning are utmost important. Hope you found the way to reveal the right formula of “Intrinsic Value Compounding”. The impact power magnitude of “Intrinsic Value Compouding” is very much stronger than the widely spoken “Compounding Interest” aka “Dividend Compounding”. Cheers
I appreciated the video, but may be the only viewer who wished that e was defined. I understand that it substitutes for (1+r/n) under continuous compounding, but what is it called in a finance context (apart from being called an exponential and continuous function)?
14:19 Shouldn't that equation be A = P*e^(rt)? P is a constant and independent of the limit, so it wouldn't be a part of the exponential function. If P weren't a part of the equation, that would mean that the interest would be the same no matter what the principal was 😋Also, it's spelled "principal", not "principle", I believe.
I'll definitely be watching this series, but I was wondering, will you still be doing a Summer course on Game Theory like you mentioned in one of your previous videos?
Yup. Things got a little delayed as I was working out a sponsor for the game theory series but the plan is alternating game theory and financial math as “series” and then random one off videos in between. Should get us most of the way through the summer:D
Question..i owe 4000 on my credit card with 8.9% apr. Im only paying 125 a month which minimum is 100..how much more can i pay to make substantial difference..i only have ssi income
@@DrTrefor hahah! I was only joking as that would be a leap.. but I love to see the mathematics in finance and appreciate your videos! Very easy to think about these formulas in a way that makes actual sense.
Hey Doc., very informative. As a senior citizen, I'm always focused on the APY for a savings yield. However, if the APY is 5%, does it really matter how often the interest is compounded? I ask because the yield on the annual investment can never exceed the 5%. That is, if I invest $10,000 with a 5% APY, the amount at the end of the year cannot exceed $10,500. That's why how frequently the interest is compounded can be misleading without always having your eye on the APY as the most important factor. Am I looking at this correctly? Thank you.
It was fun to try and work out the next equation at each stage. It was also good because, before you gave the next equation, I was taking a guess at what you meant by compound (because I'm an idiot and don't know what words are... what r dis?) and it made me try all sorts of funky equations - one which was interesting was me doing a P * { sum from 0 to n of pn-1 * r } to get a percentage of each newly adjusted total from the last month.. obviously wrong, but cool nonetheless. Trying to figure out what a reasonable answer should be from it was also a good challenge... then after playing the video again, I was like "ahhh, cool... But also, really cool I got to try other stuff out too". Really well laid out video... I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it's about money hehehe.

(1 + R) = (1 + r)^(1/n),
(1 + R)^n = (1 + r),
(1 + nR + C(n,2)*R^2 + ... + C(n - 2,n)*R^(n - 2) + n*R^(n-1) + R^n) = (1 + r);
Dismissing all the powers of R greater than one, it is possible to conclude:
(1 + r) = (1 + nR + … + R^n) > (1 + nR), since R > 0. So:
1 + nR < 1 + r, which yields R < r/n.
