minus-squareAceticon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 years agoGood point and well spotted! PS: Though it’s not actually called exponential (as it isn’t enr-3-month-periods but rather 2nr-3-month-periods ) but has a different name which I can’t recall anymore. PPS: Found it - it’s a “geometric progression”.
