Maybe it will, I’m only halfway there. I’ll take the risk, cause your solution (hiring theorem provers) simply costs much more than the risk itself upfront.
Yes it does - compound interest if you need periods and tables.
Only if you don’t round to fixed before capitalizing. But when you don’t, numerically less savvy investors (99.9% of people) would just ask to fix it and stop being so smart. They want deterministic output for any particular end of period.
I see you’re coming from academic side, but real world doesn’t work like that. Nobody’s going to take our algorithms and shove 2^(>20) records of sums greater than $100M into them.
