I was/am the treasurer for my high school class. After our ten-year reunion we ended up in the black by $350 or so. I won't need to look at this money for at least seven years so it would make sense to me to lock it up in a financial instrument like a Certificate of Deposit. The ones I've found all start at $1000 though. Does anyone sell them for oddball small prices like this?

Does your self-deception permeate your life?

How do I solve for the Rate of Convergence of an iterated function? I know the function converges to 0 as n approaches infinity, and I am interested in how fast.

Specifically: f(n)= the nth sin of 1 (or x)

e.g. f(5) = sin(sin(sin(sin(sin(1)))))

For a company considering going public, what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of seeking to being listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ?

Detailed information is appreciated.
