  • Why do we evaluate information In a world full of information that is steeped in algorithms, for-profit motivations, and biases, how do we determine the truth? And how do we know which information

    Why do we evaluate information In a world full of information that is steeped in algorithms, for-profit motivations, and biases, how do we determine the truth? And how do we know which information to trust? These questions are becoming more and more difficult to answer as our information society becomes entrenched in forms of emotional manipulation and post-truth tactics.  A glimmer of hope can be found in seeking to understand the information economy itself and how it functions.

    , 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
