Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The course focuses on advanced mathematical methods used in financial theory. The aim is to become familiar with the sequences and series, principles of time value of money, and basic principles of financial markets.
Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course, students are able to:
- use sequences in solving mathematical problems,
- work with time series, add and analyse their convergence,
- use various types of interests with different frequencies,
- set effective and real interest rate,
- calculate the current and future value of annuity, prepare a plan of debt redemption,
- use mathematical procedures in evaluating determinist cash flow,
- value bonds, stocks, and work with exchange rates,
- carry out a sensitivity analysis of bond prices to interest rate change (duration, convexity),
- analyse revenue and portfolio risk.

Exam conditions
For successful completion of the course it is necessary to achieve at least 70 % of the course and final test together under the conditions specified below. In the course test, students can get up to 30 points, i.e. 30 %. In the final test, students can get up to 70 points, i.e. 70 %. Grading for the course, i.e. points for the final test (70 - 0) + points for the course test (30 - 0): A 100 – 90, B 89.99 – 84, C 83.99 – 77, D 76.99 – 73, E 72.99 – 70, FX 69.99 – 30, F 29.99 – 0. Students in the full-time form of study are obliged to participate in 70 % of the lessons (except for lectures). If this condition is not fulfilled, the student will automatically get “F” grade.

Course test: 2 course tests (2x 15 points) – 30 points

Final test: Final test – 70 points (i.e. 70 %)
