Cash flow functions

The cash flow functions in the math unit resolve the following equation:

FV + PV * q^n + PMT (q^n - 1) / (q - 1) = 0

In this formula, the following variables are present:

FV
Future value
PV
Present value
PMT
Payment per period
n
Number of payments (number of periods)
q>
Interest Rate (return rate)

The financial functions FutureValue , NumberOfPeriods , Payment , PresentValue and InterestRate solve this equation for one of the variables, when the other variables are known.
