I have worked with some really (really) smart people during my career. “I don’t know” was an acceptable answer to a question. It had better be followed by “but I do know who does know the answer”. This often led to the people who actually invented the technology or wrote the software. This, for example, is how I came to understand the calculus behind the computation of compound interest.
AHHHHH, the JOYS of EXPONENTS...IF ONLY PEOPLE understood that COMPOUND INTEREST is NOT ones friend when taking out a Mortgage or STUDENT LOAD!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
Yep, I learned early as well. A senior analyst did a half hour of the calculus of exponential functions for the deep background of how it works mathematically. The answer as applied was to calculate an average daily rate and apply it to the account balance every night!
