About this course
Course Overview:
This course teaches you about the use of mathematical and statistical models rapidly becoming more common in economic and financial analysis. The quantitative analysis of data is often used as a guide in forecasting and in investment and portfolio decisions. The literature on finance is increasingly relying on formal mathematical models to explain the behaviour of security prices and rates of return. It is therefore essential that you acquire a sound knowledge and understanding of the most commonly used mathematical and statistical methods, both in order to be able to read the recent literature on finance and in order to develop further your professional ability in financial management.
