How do you change the compounding on the BA II + TVM function to do continuous compounding? I lost my handbook. Thanks

I don’t know if there is a way - I usually just use the “e” button.

when you hit [2nd][I/Y] you get to choose how many payments in a year youll have as well as how many times it compounds. for infinite just make C\Y=9999999999999999, that will get you the right answer.

for cont compounding you dont need to change anything. you can set n= to a high ass number like 10,000 and then divide your i by the same. should work out.
