About the event
The Rockville Numberphiles is a math club for mathematicians from Middle school, to Adult. This month, we're looking forward to a program on using math to make better financial decisions led by Dr. Farhan Hameed and his son, Rayyan. We all make lots of financial decisions over our lives: how much to save, how much to spend, or whether something is really affordable. Most of the time, we rely on advice from others, our gut feelings, or whatever fits our budget at the moment. In this session, we’ll show how even a basic understanding of math—things like powers, logarithms, and geometric series—can go a long way in helping you make smarter financial choices. We’ll explore ideas like compound interest, the time value of money, and how loans actually work, all in a practical, easy-to-follow way. No advanced math required; just bring a calculator, ask questions, and be ready to think…
