- Below is the standard equation for calculating monthly payments (m)
- given the periodic interest rate (i), the principal (p), and the number
- of payments (n). I need to rearrange the equation to solve for the
- periodic interest rate, given the other variables, but my math is sadly
- no longer up to it.
-
- If someone would be so kind as to solve for (i), or look up the
- equation, or whatever, and respond by email, I would be eternally
- grateful (well, a long time, anyway). I ask for email since this site
- does not receive sci.math. Thanks in advance.
