2. Hyperbolic discounting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting

   For example, in an early study subjects said they would be indifferent between receiving $15 immediately or $30 after 3 months, $60 after 1 year, or $100 after 3 years. These indifferences reflect annual discount rates that declined from 277% to 139% to 63% as delays got longer. [ 6 ]

3. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...

4. Related rates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

   The most common way to approach related rates problems is the following: [2] Identify the known variables, including rates of change and the rate of change that is to be found. (Drawing a picture or representation of the problem can help to keep everything in order)

5. Discounting - Wikipedia

   [2] [6] The "discount rate" is the rate at which the "discount" must grow as the delay in payment is extended. [7] This fact is directly tied into the time value of money and its calculations. [1] The present value of $1,000, 100 years into the future. Curves representing constant discount rates of 2%, 3%, 5%, and 7%

6. Time preference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_preference

   Discount rates and traditional economic problems both inform and are influenced by each other. For example, the interest rate plays an important role in individual discount rates. If one can accumulate interest at a certain rate, say 5% per year, one should not have a discount rate below this. Say you are offered $100 today or $105 in one year.

7. Accumulation function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulation_function

   In actuarial mathematics, the accumulation function a(t) is a function of time t expressing the ratio of the value at time t (future value) and the initial investment (present value). [1] [2] It is used in interest theory. Thus a(0) = 1 and the value at time t is given by: = ().

9. Coupon collector's problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector's_problem

   In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests. It asks the following question: if each box of a given product (e.g., breakfast cereals) contains a coupon, and there are n different types of coupons, what is the probability that more than t boxes need to be bought ...
