Explained in a terrible way, it's integrals for interest if "compound daily/monthly/yearly" was an estimation using discrete intervals

you didn't really improve by hiding behind "integrals"; this is why so many kids are afraid of calculus.

The explanation worked for me. I learned basic calculus but didn't know about continual compounding interest.

There's a reason I prefaced it with "explained in a terrible way". It clicks that way in my head, might for others

this isn’t kindergarten. if something is described concisely by analysis then that’s how I want it explained to me too.
