<p>I was digging through some of the pricing models here and notice 1-e^(-rt)</p>
<p>I remember seeing it in a couple IOE courses (I think it has to do with stats) but I cant remember what context this came up in. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>nvm poisson process…</p>
<p>and I didnt know that it’s also a significant chunk of the formula for continuous time discounted cash flow…</p>
<p>does anyone else think that google should allow search for mathematical notations? I tried typing in “e^-rt” and nothing relevant comes up</p>
<p>Oh yeah, how could you not know that? That’s so easy-who doesn’t know the formula for continuous time discounted cash flow? We learned that in 3rd grade.</p>
<p>sorry. skipped class that day</p>
<p>I have dyscalculia so I almost always have to do my own research on the mathematical concepts mentioned in class and it is at times very difficult to do so, particularly when I only have the formula and not the name of the procedure, which happens all the time when I am just copying examples from the board.</p>

<p>Now e^(-rt) does not return anything, and neither will any general formula, I suppose, since the variables are not restricted to, say, rate and time.</p>
