Aim of course
The lecture shows how to apply scientific principles to investments. The scientific tools used are mainly mathematical, but only a modest level of mathematics is required to understand the primary concepts discussed in this course. The purpose is to convey the principles of financial engineering and an understanding of how these principles can be used in practice to make calculations that lead to good investment decisions.
