This class requires you to mathematically solve several financial management problems using simple algebra. The book has step-by-step explanations and examples. Two comments about math:
1) Starting with Assignment 1 you are going to need to manipulate numbers and in many cases submit an MS Excel spreadsheet. In most cases you will also need to submit a short paper about some decision you are recommending. Treat your papers as if you are writing to a “math phobic” boss, e.g., explain what the math means when reaching you recommendation.
2) Starting with Week 2 the discussion questions have math problems embeIDed. I know it may be difficult to “discuss” arithmetic, but are a graduate student. So get creative and get some reasonable 200-word posts in the Dqs.
