Course Outline

How to use a Financial Calculator

Though there are many calculator that you can use for this course, the basic logical structure of their (financial calculators) programs is same. We would provide an Introduction to Financial Calculators, so that everybody knows what should you do for classical finance problems. If you are not a business major, as long as you have a calculator which does perform exponential operations (raising a number to some power), you can use your calculator along with equations (in textbook) to solve any financial problem.

Basic Financial Formulae

Since many students have raised concern with respect to "memorizing too many equations", in order to assure that everyone has access to correct and relevant information, I have prepared a Formulae Sheet for your daily use and/or for test purpose. Please note that not all formulae in the sheet are discussed in class and some of the more fundamental concepts is not included either.

Sample Tests & Home Works:

Since THE MOST WANTED topics among students is WHAT IS ON THE TEST, I have provided you with sample tests and quizzes so you could refer to these as a GUIDE for your test. This by no means implies that you should suffice to sample tests for your exam, but rather the sample tests should be used as merely a GUIDELINE! Your text book, my lectures and articles are pertinent parts of your exams.

Project

One the most important task a financial expert does is to
determine the value of an entity (firm, project, etc.).  This
project will allow you to experience first hand how the
valuation is done.  This project is a key ingredient of the course
and I expect you to devote your utmost attention to making
this an exciting learning experience.
