Lecture
Notes (Powerpoint Slides)
We outline 3 possible courses which can be used with our 'lecture
note' Powerpoint slides based on specific chapters of 'Financial
Engineering : Derivatives and risk Management', K. Cuthbertson and
D. Nitzsche (J. Wiley, 2001).
These courses could be at MSc or MBA (specialisation) level or
on final year undergraduate courses in finance.
These Powerpoint slides consist of those from the book itself but
also include many more, which then provide a complete set for use
as 1 semester course (e.g. 10 x 2 hour lectures plus 1 hour seminar).
The slides are all in a common style. They should be used in conjunction
with the relevant Excel and Gauss files for each chapter, as well
as the end-of-chapter 'questions' (Answers to the latter are available
on the J.Wiley website, to lecturers who adopt the book).
From time to time we will update these 'lecture notes' slides.
