Financial Mathematics: A Concise Guide

by Stephen Fratini

Overview

This book is targeted at people who are interested in learning about the mathematics behind some basic financial concepts, such as interest rates, annuities, loans, bonds and capital budgeting, as well as trained mathematicians looking to apply their skills to finance. The target audience includes individual investors, small business owners, and students of business and finance.

Derivations for most of the stated formulas are provided in the text. The assumed mathematical background is minimal (basic algebra and just a touch of the limit and integral concepts from calculus).

Many of the financial processes discussed in this book are supported by Python programs that the author has made freely available to the reader. While this document does provide some background and description for each Python program, it is not intended to be a Python tutorial. However, the reader should be able to use the Python programs without understanding Python.
