Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance: A Deterministic Approach

Subject CM1 Actuarial Mathematics Core Principles

Investment Mathematics and Statistics

An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance

BBM008 - Financial Mathematics (Subject CM1(1))

BBM008-PRD1-PER-ALV1

This module will be taught through a mixture of lectures, online lectures and examples classes which will be used to reinforce the understanding of the concepts. 
You will also be expected to spend a significant amount of time in self-directed study. 
Self-directed learning hours are for independent study and account for the minimum amount of time you should spend studying independently. For example, carrying out subject research, practising and reflecting on techniques learned in class, reading widely around the subject to develop a deeper understanding, carrying out activities using the VLE, attending induction and career development workshops, working in groups to complete assignments and presentations, and completing individual assignments and other homework.

Contact hours are designed to be flexible and are delivered using a variety of methods to help you learn in the most effective way. A proportion of the core content may be delivered online and additional support materials and content will also be made available through Moodle.
