John_Maxwell comments on The Math of When to Self-Improve

[John_Maxwell]

The problem with your math is that your r(t) isn’t the same as my r. If $v(Deltat$) gives the factor by which you discount a future resource acquisition that will occur $Deltat$ in the future, then r is for people who have a $v(Deltat$) of the form

$v(Deltat$ = \frac{1}{r}^{\Delta%20t})

Your equation is for people who have a

) of the form

= \frac{k}{(\Delta t)^{2}})

where k is some constant.

$vDelta$
