Welcome to our Finance 101 course!
Most people don’t realize how basic finance calculations play a major role in their life:
– the ability to compare two investments
– the understanding of how the timing of cash flows impacts rates of return
– the preparation necessary to negotiate an advantageous mortgage or loan rate
At the end of the day all of these decisions shape the amount of money you will find in your bank account. And because money accumulates over time, potential inefficiencies have an even higher weight in the future.
On the other hand, educated financial decision making goes a long way and could easily play a major role determining your net worth in the years to come.
In this course, we will start from the very basics. The lessons are suitable for those of you who have not studied finance in university or during an MBA course.
We’ll cover the following fundamental topics:
-
cash flow calculations
-
the time value of money
-
the components forming interest rates
-
how to compare between investments
-
what is an annuity

-
what is the difference between monthly and annual interest rate

The course was interesting and an eye opener.
Daniel L. Harrow –
It was great! Very happy. If I had any criticism, the cartoons did not match the words being spoken and i found that distracting. The other thing I didn’t really understand is at some points it would say “this is too complicated so use a calculator.” I guess I expected we would see how to do the specific calculations and not be given the calulator. Anyway, the course was great. Very satisfied. Highly recommended!!

Clearly explains concepts and moves at a great pace.
However, I don’t understand the amount of focus on using a financial calculator. In this day and age people use spreadsheets. Shouldn’t you be showing how to use the Excel functions that calculate the IRR, NPV etc?
