The Problem of Instantaneous Rate
Many rate problems in practical life are not satisfactorily solved by merely computing an average rate of change of a function. If an automobile accident happens, the driver cannot shake his responsibility by proving that he drove at an average rate of 20 miles an hour during the preceding two hours. The important fact is his “instantaneous” rate of speed at the instant…

Instantaneous and
Compounded Annual Rates
for Interest
In finance there are two ways to express rates such as interest rates. The most common way is as the effective annual rates so that if the interest rate is r then $1 deposited at the beginning of a year will grow to be (1+r) by the end of the year. The other way of expressing an interest rate is the rate of growth of the value of a deposit over an infinitesmal period of time. This rate is usually called the instantaneous rate. The value of a deposit after one year of accumulating interestwill depend not only upon the instantaneous interest rate but also upon how often the interest is compounded. To see the effect of compounding consider the following table that represents the growth of a deposit of $1 over a one-year period when the instantaneous interest rate is 100 percent per year.

neutral  plettnea: Not sure on this one, I thought it refers to "the power of compound interest" as it seems to me that you are translating a syllabus where the topic is to compare simple interest and compound interest rates. Así me lo enseñaron en el ITAM
