    Except for trivial or easy cases where there is only 1 cash flow with i in it or you can factorise i out via cubic or quadratic etc, no. Just use excel. You can use the IRR function or you can write it yourself like in the example attached. You use goal seek or solver to determine the rate. Also...

    IRR and NPV are linked. For example, say project A has Cash Flows of -100 at time 0, 20 at time 1, ... , 20 at time 4 and 50 at time 5. What's the present value of these cash flows? -100+\frac{20}{(1+i)}+\frac{20}{(1+i)^{2}}+\frac{20}{(1+i)^{3}}+\frac{20}{(1+i)^{4}}+\frac{50}{(1+i)^{5}}...

    No this is financial maths for actuaries. In saying that, you will encounter some of it like interest rates compounded continuously or momently etc. I just think the treatment of the material is a little different. I'll let you know though :)

    Oh yeah sorry I skipped stuff as well v=e^{-\delta}, where v is (1+i)^-1, so discounting whatever for 1 period but delta is the force or the rate of interest payable continously. so v=(1+i)^-1=e^-delta

    I think I must be doing something wrong. For the summation I just want \sum_{t=1}^{n}te^{-\delta t} \\ \text{However I get} \sum_{t=1}^{n} -\frac{t}{\delta}e^{-\delta t}[1-e^{\delta}]
