CONTENTS

1. expdiscrete.jl --- Julia source to be opened with Pluto
2. expdiscretePluto.pdf --- The result of the source code saved as PDF
3. expdiscretePluto.mp4 --- A video showing how the slider works, and how the value of interest payments in a continuous interval gets close to the constant e = exp(1)

TO RUN THE CODE

1. Install Julia. See https://julialang.org/
2. Run Julia and install the package Pluto. See https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/blob/master/README.md
3. In the Julia REPL, type Pluto.run()
