Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: To illustrate the discovery of e by Bernoulli, this is a graph of account value (after one year) versus compounding frequency in days (on a log10 scale), assuming an initial value of 1 currency unit (Dollar, Euro, etc) and an interest rate of 100% per year. As compounding becomes more frequent (to the left), the account value at one year approaches e. |
