Financial Mathematics Course Overview
This four-module course demonstrates how financial math formulas can be used to perform detailed analysis of a set of data and variables.
This four-module course demonstrates how financial math formulas can be used to perform detailed analysis of a set of data and variables.
In this first module, we explore the concept of “time value of money”. The module focuses on how to calculate present and future values using compounding and discounting techniques. In addition, this module goes on to describe how the present values of annuities, perpetuities, and growing perpetuities can be calculated. Each concept is reinforced with practical and applied exercises and case studies. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of how discounted cash flow techniques are used to evaluate future cash flows.
In this financial math module, we explore bond prices and yields. The module begins by explaining how to calculate the price of a bond using discounted cash flows. The module then goes on to describe how various yields (such as current yield and yield to maturity) are calculated. This module also explains the relationship between bond prices and yields, as well as how to identify whether a bond is trading at par, at a premium, or at a discount.
Each concept in this module is reinforced with practical and applied exercises and case studies. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of how bonds are priced and yields calculated.
In this module, we explore key statistical measures. The module begins by explaining how to compute measures of central tendency, including the arithmetic mean and expected values. The module then goes on to describe how simple and weighted moving averages are calculated. This module also explains how to calculate different types of statistical dispersion, such as range, variance, and standard deviation.
Each concept in this module is reinforced with practical and applied exercises and case studies. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of how to calculate the key statistical measures.
In this financial math module, we examine the mathematical relationship between two variables. The module begins by explaining how covariance and correlation are defined and calculated. The module then goes on to explain how regression analysis is used to estimate the value of one variable as a function of another. It also explains the regression equation, describes how to interpret the coefficient of determination, and explains how to access the regression tools in Excel.
Each concept in this module is reinforced with practical and applied exercises and case studies. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of how to compute and interpret covariance, correlation, and regression analysis results.
