5 STEPS TO A SOLID FOUNDATION

# 1: Pre-Fundamentals (Before The Absolute Basics)

Explore mathematics in a new yet familiar way. Discover whymath really is a language. Learn how to transform an English statement into a mathematical equation.

Gain familiarity with the most common financial math notations and never feel intimidated by the Greek letters, ever again.

Take the baby steps and learn how to read equations from scratch.

# 2: The Fundamentals (Getting the Absolute Basics Right)

Discover the 5 Golden Rules of mathematics that will help you take back control of the equations.

See how these 5 incredibly simple rules can help you rearrange anyequation – regardless of how complex it may be.

We’ll use these 5 rules alone to write an entire financial math proof from scratch, together!

# 3: Playing with Equations

Explore how to simplify, expand, and factorise equations from scratch.

Start from the most basic expressions before gradually building up to more advanced and complex equations.

Get comfortable with manipulating and rearranging equations, just by applying the Golden Rules!

# 4: Financial Math Essentials

Explore the single concept on which 70%-80% of Finance is based on – the Present Value.

Discover the Future Value and how it interacts with the Present Value.

Take command of the simple concept which drives the entire process for stock valuation, bond valuation, and a whole lot more.

# 5: Writing a Proof

Leverage your new rock solid foundations by writing a financial math proof from scratch.

Explore precisely how and why the Present Value of an Annuity works the way it does.

Take things to the next level by going solo and proving the Present Value of a Perpetuity all by yourself.
