Music of the Trecento system of division of the breve into 2, 3, 4, 6,8, 9, or 12 semibreves (later minims) with dots (singular "punctus divisionis") indicating breaks at the end of a breve (however, Marchetto never used a term 'punctus divisionis'). Although more Trecento music is written in the international system of notation descended from Franco of Cologne and Philippe de Vitry than in the Marchettian system (and there exist a few, mostly instrumental, works not of Italian origin that use this system), nonetheless, Marchetto's contribution to rhythmic notation is so connected with the Italian Trecento that it is often referred to as
Time value of money on time value, and provides a simple introduction before considering more complicated and less familiar situations. This exposition follows . The fundamental change that the differential equation perspective brings is that, rather than computing a "number" (the present value "now"), one computes a "function" (the present value now or at any point in "future"). This function may then be analyzed—how does its value change over time—or compared with other functions. Formally, the statement that "value decreases over time" is given by defining the linear differential operator formula_37 as: This states that values decreases (−) over time (∂) at the discount
