Write out what the perpetuity formula, ∑ ∞ t=1 C (1+r) t means! 6/1
...in another language ◮ If you know how to program, the summation ∑ 100 i=1 f (i) is the same as sum ⇐ 0.0 for i from 1 to 100 do begin ◮ sum ⇐ sum + f (i) end return sum Again, note that i is not an input variable—instead, it is a device to indicate that we have 100 terms which we want to sum up. That is, when you write out the formula, there is no i in it! ◮ IMHO, programming teaches logical thinking. In many jobs, you need to know how to do basic programming, too. Thus, I can recommend taking an introductory programming course to any student. 7/1
