;;;; Mortgage Calculators

#|
P = payment
PV = Present Value
r = rate per period
n = number of periods

P = (r(PV)) / (1-(1+r)^-n)

Okay, but I want to find PV instead
Guess I need to remember algebra

P = (r(PV)) / (1-(1+r)^-n)
P * (1-(1+r)^-n) = r * PV

(P * (1-(1+r)^-n) / r = PV

   monthly-payments conversion

  find-payments = loan-total
