Unit 4: Discrete Functions
Discrete Functions covers topics on patterns, arithmetic and geometric sequences and series and then moves into financial math.
Financial Applications: Simple interest, compound interest, present value, amount of an annuity and present value of an annuity are all covered as applications of financial math.
