- In the courese is applied mathematical apparatus of high school, mainly linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic equations, modification of expressions, geometric and arithmetic series.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 108 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 95/108, only registered: 0/108, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/108 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Course objectives
- After passing the course is student able to: make clear the fundamentals of financial mathematics, calculation of annuities and the principles of interest. Futher, he will able to make use of the interest in fundamental areas of financial mathematics and apply acquired knowledge to the related areas which are not discussed within this course.
- Learning outcomes
- Student will be able to:
- understand and apply the concept of time value of captal;
- make decisions on time-diverging cash flows;
- interpret an informative content of interest rate;
- apply variations of interest calculation: after-term and pre-term (linear, compound, exponetial, combined);
- understand the value of real and nominal capital depending on the form of taxation and price level;
- effectively work with the annuities on which the whole field of finance is based. - Syllabus

- Teaching methods
- Lectures combined with student interaction, Seminars - solving of problems related to interest, savings, annuities, credits and some securities.
- Assessment methods
- Structure of the course: 1/2 (lecture / seminar)
Assessment:
The valuation will be based on written exam. The regular valuation takes place in the form of 2 control tests. The maximum score of each test is 15 points, i.e. 30 points in total. The tests will be held in 7th week and 14th week of the semester.
For ongoing activity in exercises and lectures, the student can receive an additional 5 points. The graded activity will always be specified by the teacher.
To successfully complete the course, it is necessary to obtain at least 18 points.
A student who does not get at least 18 points is graded "F".
The student who does not get the required number of points can use the correction dates that will take place during the exam period.
The score of the remedial test will have the score of 30 points, and in order to successfully complete the course, it is required at least 18 points (including the activities during the semester).
The correction deadline can also be used by those who have been properly excused in the IS for their non-participation in one of the control tests. For them, this written test will only replace the points from the missed test.
Students who are on an internship abroad during the semester and cannot attend classes, contact the course guarantor in the first week of the semester and agree on individual conditions for completing the course.
Classification scale:
A: [27,35]
B: [25,27)
C: [23,25)
D: [21,23)
E: [18,21)
F: [0,18)
If a student commits an illegal conduct such as the use of various illegal aids ("cheat sheet"), copying, taking test assignments and conduct that interferes with the course of the test, the teacher interrupts the examination and assigns classification to IS F or FF, depending on the severity of the offense. possibly also FFF. In the case of a serious misdemeanour, the disciplinary commission will be initiated to initiate disciplinary proceedings. - Language of instruction
