How to use a Financial Calculator
Though there are many calculator that you can use for this course, the basic logical structure of their programs is same. We would provide an Introduction to Financial Calculators, so that everybody knows what to 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:
Since THE MOST WANTED topic 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.
