Overview:
This course begins with an introduction to different types of interest arisen in e.g. savings, student loans, credit cards,
mortgages and life insurance policies, followed by basic growth models and the more complicated annuity models
commonly found in Hong Kong. An EXCEL Tutorial will also be included in order to introduce the computer skills needed to
model and solve problems using EXCEL spreadsheets. The course also covers more advanced ideas including forecasting
trends in interest rates, estimating the market-price behavior, and carrying out simulations.
Objectives:
This course will allow students to select the best deals from the overwhelming number of plans offered by Hong Kong
financial institutions. Local examples not only provide a sense of familiarity for students, but also make the skills acquired
in this course applicable to Hong Kong situations. These examples will help build a strong foundation in logical thinking
and problem solving and enable students to use cost-benefit analysis as a decision-making tool in their daily lives. We
hope this course will help students learn to enjoy using mathematics in real life.
