nominal rate is the rate quoted by banks, not equal to the effect rate
i(m): a nominal interest rate that convertible/compounded/payable m
times per year
d(m): a nominal discount rate that convertible/compounded/payable m
times per year
APY (annual percentage yield): the effect compound interest rate

Example: Helen borrows $ 5000 from her credit card account at a nominal
annual interest rate of 20% per year convertible monthly. Two months later,
she pays $1000 back. Four months after the payment she borrows $ 2000.
How much does she owe one year after the loan is taken out?
