What math knowledge is necessary for graduate level finance?
Friday, November 27th, 2009bumbo asked:
I am starting a graduate program this week, and the professor starts by saying the test will include math which resembles upper level algebra. Having been out of college for 5 years, I have 0 recollection. Is this a problem someone else incurred, do most people entering graduate school remember or have they even necessarily taken upper level math? Any advice on getting by? I know I can do the finance problems as I have taken finance courses before, but to do the math from scratch, thos skills I don’t have. Help?!
