Abstract
This article is an extension of one published in this journal by Bland and Givan (1983). The objective of that piece was “to present a problem in applied mathematics that can be used as a study project by a secondary school student.” The problem addressed applications of sequences and series. It touched on a variety of topics, such as beginning algebra, the theory of interest, and the theory of sums of series of finite length. This article expands the scope of the previous work and demonstrates the application of spreadsheet analysis in solving equations beyond quadratics.
