Description

Our Foundations in Financial Mathematics course can be
taken by both students who are struggling with
mathematics, as well as those needing a quick refresher
before starting an accountancy course. Depending on your
experience, you can either work your way through the seven
chapters in order or start midway through the course.
It can be taken before you start your studies to provide
students with a solid mathematical foundation or if you
get stuck during your accountancy course you can always
find the chapter that is applicable.
This course starts by covering the basic mathematical
knowledge you will need to successfully implement and
utilise financial mathematics in your accountancy studies
as well as your financial career. It starts by looking at
mathematical terminology, indices, fractions, solving
equations and probability. Then moves on to various types
of data manipulation and representations, as well as a
whole chapter dedicated to forecasting. The course ends
with chapters on financial mathematics and spreadsheet
software.
The key to any mathematical learning is practice, so each
chapter is broken down into bitesize video lectures and
then supported by extensive online assignments to apply
what you have learned. Every few chapters there is a quick
quiz to take, this ensures you are retaining the information
as well as testing your understanding of how the topics
coincide and relate to each other.
