Continuous Compounding and Growth Effects

The video tutorial covers exponential growth, starting with a simple interest model and expanding to monthly and continuous compounding. It explains how interest can be compounded at different intervals, including monthly and continuously, using Euler's number. The tutorial also compares different bank interest models, highlighting the benefits of continuous growth. The conclusion emphasizes that continuous compounding results in faster growth over time.
