• Gain a solid command over how to rearrange / manipulate equations algebraically.
• Build the foundation that will empower you to later handle more complex problems in Finance.
• Experience Financial Math the way it is - with simplicity. Starting from the stuff before the basics.
• Get past your fear of equations by taking control of them. Start by learning how to read equations. Then conquer them.
