Financial Math

The following presentations are an adaptation of a handout written by Brian Hogan and Dusty Wilson that was adapted for presentation on the web as a PowerPoint presentation.

Make sure you take notes and work through the problems as you go through each of the sections.  Again, the goal is that you learn the material, not that you just get through it.
