Stock Price Modeling - Learn Math Through Real Applications
An integrated journey of math, Excel, quant finance and probability! Learn the math you use, use the math you learn!
Description
What learning experience can beat learning through real life application? In this course you will acquire various knowledge in math, probability theory, Excel modeling, Financial engineering all at once! You will see how various tools are brought together to solve a real problem in Wall Street -- option pricing. If you want to see how math can be useful in real life, if you want to gain some Excel modeling skills, or if you want to switch into quant finance, this is a perfect course for you! This course is beginner friendly, as it will explain everything step by step.
The problem with school curriculum is its unnatural way of grouping subjects. It’s based on an assembly line approach that’s unfit for human brains. Real life problems don’t present themselves in a clean cut mode, different areas are mingled together all at once. It’s hard to learn math when you don’t have the contexts, it’s hard to gain Excel skills if there is no real model to work on, it’s hard to learn quant finance if you don’t understand the math behind.
Knowledge taught in isolation can hardly be put together, that’s why most of us suffer in school. For those who survive, it’s mostly likely they know how to connect things. You will learn so much more when knowledge are connected! So we make this integrated course for those who want to really understand the principles behind rather than simply performing chores. It will give you an integrated learning experience you’ve never encountered before!
