    , credit cards, insurance products, the list goes on and on. The effects of compound interest can be slow but it has a cumulative way of growing significantly and it can be intriguing how that works. What is happening can be simple, but when we dig deeper into the theory of compound interest and its applications, it can delve into the realm of calculus, where we use integration, geometric series and heavy algebraic manipulation. Compound interest plays a role in the time value of money, and calculating
