The Compound Interest Equation

P = C (1 + r/n) nt
where
    P = future value
    C = initial deposit
    r = interest rate (expressed as a fraction: eg. 0.06)
    n = # of times per year interest is compounded
    t = number of years invested

Simplified Compound Interest Equation

When interest is only compounded once per year (n=1), the equation
simplifies to:
P = C (1 + r) t

Polygon Formulas
(N = # of sides and S = length from center to a corner)

Area of a regular polygon = (1/2) N sin(360°/N) S2

Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (N - 2) x 180°

The number of diagonals in a polygon = 1/2 N(N-3)


The number of triangles (when you draw all the diagonals from one vertex)
in a polygon = (N - 2)
