MBQM650 Weekly Activity Problems
 Having trouble playing the videos? HELP!
The November, 2002, changes to the server are causing problems with playing the videos. Click the HELP link below to get instructions on how to adapt your RealOne player. If you would like to review them by telephone, send me an email with your telephone number and a good time to call you. In describing the problem, be as descriptive as possible: identify which video you are having trouble with, type of problem (image, sound, start/stop), time of day, your system, your location (on campus, at home, at the office), and so on. Thank you.
HELP!

Notations
Superscripts (t vs. n): Some disciplines use the superscript t to indicate time (number of years, months, and so on); other disciplines use the superscript n. The videos in this section use both references interchangeably.
Subscripts: An and an mean two different things. With
An, you should sum (add) the first n terms. For A3, you would add the first 3 terms in a sequence of terms. With an, you should find the nth term. For a3, you would find the 3rd term in a sequence of terms.
For example, given the sequence, 7, 12, 17, 22,
A3 = 7 + 12 + 17 = 36
a3 = 17

We are in the process of correcting the lead in video, Power of Compounding. An error appears at approximately 4:40. In the table of numbers presented, for 30 years, the value of the account should be $300,000; for 40 years, the value of the account should be $930,000. The values of the changes should be adjusted accordingly.
