Mathematics Refresher Seminars
for the
Fall 2009 Cohort
The mathematics department has been offering
refresher seminars in C++,
Advanced Calculus, Probability, and Linear Algebra to students admitted
into the Financial Engineering MS Program since Summer 2004.
The math refresher seminars are different
from regular undergraduate courses. The Advanced Calculus, Probability
and Linear Algebra seminars focus on topics to be examined in greater
detail in the program, cover a number of challenging financial
applications, and are taught by experienced instructors from the MFE
faculty. The C++ seminar is taught by the same instructors who teach
the MTH 9815 course, which ensures that every student will be at the
appropriate level of programming proficiency at the start of the
semester.
The refresher seminars are not for credit and are
closed to people not
admitted to the Financial Engineering MS Program.
The book A
Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering
by Professor Dan Stefanica, covering the material taught in the
Advanced
Calculus refresher seminar, has recently been published. See the table of
contents
for the topics covered in the refrehser seminar.
Sample sections from the book can be found here.
A Solutions Manual,
including over fifty supplemental exercises with complete
solutions, is also available. More information can be found here.
