Here is some information and some ground rules. I will stick to these rules, and I assume you will, too. Read carefully, and let me know as soon as possible { certainly by the 12th day of classes: January 29th , 2014 { if there is anything unclear.  \nTreat this document like a contract.  \nTechnicalities  \nLectures: Tue/Thu 12:30pm-1:45pm in ENS 109  \nO􀀎ce Hours: Wednesday 9:00am-12noon in RLM 13.142 My e-mail: mcudina [teaching@math.utexas.edu](teaching@math.utexas.edu)  \nPhone numbers: (512)232-6186 (the instructor's o􀀎ce)  \n(512)471-7711 (Department of Mathematics-main o􀀎ce)  \n(512)471-9038 (Department of Mathematics-main o􀀎ce(fax))  \nAbout the Course  \nA few (serious) introductory remarks  \n􀀅 Course URL. [http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/mcudina/course2.html](http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/mcudina/course2.html)  \n􀀅 Course description. This course is intended to provide the mathematical foundations necessary to prepare for a portion of  \n1. the joint SoA/CAS exam FM/2, as well as  \n2. the SoA Exam MFE and the \\􀀌nancial economics\" portion of the CAS Exam 3 . Additionally, the course is aimed at building up the vocabulary and the techniques indispensable in the workplace at current 􀀌nancial and insurance institutions. This isnot an exam-prep seminar. There is intellectual merit to the course beyond the ability to prepare for a professional exam.  \nThe material exhibited includes: forward contracts, options, futures, swaps, the simple random walk, the binomial asset pricing model and its application to option pricing. It should be stressed that this course is more sophisticated mathematically than is evident at 􀀌rst glance. A thorough understanding of probability and skillful application of notions from interest theory will be needed to advance through the varied and very dense material. The students will be required to actively participate in the class meetings and contribute to the successful conclusion of this course.  \nThe remainder of the Exam MFE/3F curriculum is exhibited in course M339W (also o􀀋ered by the Department of Mathematics) . The RECOMMENDED text is \\Derivatives Markets (2nd Ed)\" by McDonald.  \n2  \n􀀅 Prerequisites. A grade of at least C-in both ACF329 and M362K.  \n􀀅 Drop dates. The last drop date for this class is the one announced on the academic calendar of the University of Texas at Austin (see [http://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars/](http://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars/)). This term it is March 31st, 2014 .  \n􀀏 A few words about the assignments and grading  \nYou will have homework assignments (due on the dates indicated in the table at the end of this document, and always in the beginning of class) . There will also be two in-term exams during the session, and a 􀀌nal exam.  \nHomework. This is important information: I will not accept homework that does not conform to the guidelines that follow! Homework assignments you turnin must be organized and stapled. As will business or o􀀎cial documents, the homework assignments must be done carefully and written legibly on standard size paper. Please do homework on standard size good quality paper. Please write only on the front of each sheet. Box numerical answers where possible. Staple in the top left-hand corner. On the 􀀌rst page and the outside page write your name, course number, assignment number, and date. Also, put your last name on each page. Put solutions in order and number the pages. The lowest two homework scores will be dropped.  \nHaving read and understood this First-Day Handout in its entirety will count as one homework assignment. To get the credit, read this entire document with understanding. Then complete the 􀀌nal page of this document and return that page to your instructor by January 29th , 2014.
