    How to derive forward interest rates from spot rates (Hull vs Tuckman)

    Hi! I'm confused about forward interest rate calculation, Hull (ch 4) uses RF=(R2T2-R1T1)/(T2-T1), Tuckman (ch 2) instead computes from formula (1+r(0,2)/2)^4=(1+r(0,1.5)/2)^3+(1+f(1.5,2.0)/2)^1. I'm sure the answer is just here but I can't see... Is it about compounding? Should I memorize both...

    LIBOR, day count convention and compunding frequency

    Hi David, In your notes, you say that LIBOR is quoted on an actual/360 basis. But when using the LIBOR rate as a proxy for the spot rate it is continuously compounding. Doesn't actual/360 imply simple interest (no compunding)? I just do not see how these two methodologies are compatible...
