26.6.2 Geometric Models: Compounding and Decay

Core idea

Interest on interest, or radioactive decay, where each period scales by the same factor, is exactly a common ratio q

Module goal. Use sequence models to tackle problems of growth and accumulation, and carry the idea of approaching a value forward toward vectors and limits.
