Prerequisites: M 408D, M408L, or M408S with a grade of ‘C- ’ or better.  \nV . Description of the Course: This course covers the mathematical theory of interest with applications to investments and corporate finance. The material is chosen to help prepare students that are taking the Financial Mathematics Exam, also referred to as Exam FM by the SOA (Society of Actuaries) and Exam 2 by the CAS (Casualty Actuarial Society). See [http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-exam-fm-detail.aspx](http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-exam-fm-detail.aspx for)[ for](http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-exam-fm-detail.aspx for)[ ](http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-exam-fm-detail.aspx for)[more information on this exam.](more information on this exam.)  \nIn addition, this course carries the Quantitative Reasoning Flag. Quantitative Reasoning courses are designed to equip you with skills that are necessary for understanding the types of quantitative arguments you will regularly encounter in your adult and professional life. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from your use of quantitative skills to analyze real-world problems.  \nVI . Calculators: Any approved calculator can be used for this class (approved list: [http://www.beanactuary.org/exams/rules/?fa=identification-and-calculators\\#calculator](http://www.beanactuary.org/exams/rules/?fa=identification-and-calculators#calculator)) . It is strongly recommended that you use the Texas Instruments BAII Plus or Texas Instruments BAII Plus Professional. The textbook gives detailed instructions on how to use these calculators, which is extremely advantageous. My personal favorite calculator is the Texas Instruments 30XS Multiview, but it does not have the same financial capabilities of the BAII’s. If I was taking this class, I would use both.  \nVII . Learning Outcomes:  \nA . Time Value of Money  \n1. Define and recognize the definitions of the following terms:  \na) Interest rate (rate of interest)  \nb) Simple interest  \nc) Compound interest  \nd) Accumulation function  \ne) Future value  \nf) Present value/net present value  \ng) Discount factor  \nh) Discount rate (rate of discount)  \ni) Convertible m-thly  \nj) Nominal rate  \nk) Effective rate  \nl) Inflation and real rate of interest  \nm) Force of interest  \nn) Equation of value  \n2. To be able to:  \na) Given any two of interest rate, present value, or future value, calculate the third based on simple or compound interest.  \nb) Given any one of the effective interest rate, the nominal interest rate convertible m-thly, the effective discount rate, the nominal discount rate convertible m-thly, or the force of interest, calculate all of the other items.  \nc) Write the equation of value given a set of cash flows and an interest rate.  \nB . Annuities with payments that are not contingent  \n1. Define and recognize the definitions of the following terms:  \na) Annuity-immediate  \nb) Annuity-due  \nc) Perpetuity  \nd) Payable m-thly, or Payable continuously  \ne) Level payment annuity  \nf) Arithmetic increasing/decreasing payment annuity  \ng) Geometric increasing/decreasing payment annuity  \nh) Term of annuity  \n2.
