Errata/Addenda

5 Jan 2023: Since the lecture notes were first written, the fv function (described in the Python as a Basic and Business Calculator chapter) has been removed from SciPy. It is now in a standalone module called NumPy-Financial. The code for the module is all in one file. Unfortunately, you cannot use Anaconda Navigator to install the module (though you can use pip), as described in the NumPy-Financial web page. However, if you download the source code file (or copy-and-paste its contents) to a file in your working directory called numpy_financial.py, you can replace the lines in the book that say:

from scipy import fv

to:

from numpy_financial import fv

and it all should work the same.
