    Finance is a defining subject of study in any business program. The study of finance (along with a number of other subjects, like, marketing, accounting, and human resource management) define who you are as business students. Any student who graduates with a degree in business must have some familiarity with financial principles and financial markets. The first objective of this course is to survey these topics for non-finance concentrators. The word "survey" means that we will not explore every area of the discipline nor will we indulge in advanced study of any area. The second objective of the course is to introduce students who are interested in becoming finance concentrators to topics that they will study in more depth in later advanced courses.…

    Crawford states “The National Defense Education Act of 1958, passed in response to Sputnik, was the first effort at the national level to strengthen mathematics, science, and foreign-language instruction” (pg 106). Unfortunately we all know that the money spent was modest and continue to be small; it looks like that is not enough funds for Education and especially for Math. For years, I have been listening that the United States is behind in Mathematics. Then, I decided to do an analysis in Math curriculum from Japan. I will analyze an elementary Math curriculum to find out which grade we start to get behind from Japan. The TIMSS (The Trends International Mathematics and Science Study) results suggest to American citizens that "compared to our goal of excellence among nations, we are not where we aim to be." The TIMSS scores show that American 4th-graders do well in Science, but that otherwise there is plenty of room for improvement in both mathematics and science. By contrast, Japan remains constantly at the top internationally in both math and science. The Japanese education system may suggest some lessons for improving teaching and learning in the United States.…

    Financial Analyst

    I am interested in investing and that means that I am interested in almost all "investment vehicles"; from stocks and bonds to futures and options. However, I am in certain stage of my life where I don't have high income. So I shifted my interest primarily toward options. Because of the simply reason, options in 100 shares will cost much less than actually buying 100 shares. This reason and my today's situation have "forced" me to be more interested in options. But of course options are highly complex and highly leveraged and they require more than just a basic knowledge of the stock market. I have read a lot of books on this topics, trading, value investing, technical and fundamental analysis, and I realised that I will need to have all these things in a "small pocket" if I want to success in this field. That's why I started a little bit earlier. But I would not speak about independent trader, because it would not be realistic for this assignment. So if I expect to work in a firm where I would implement this interest that I mention above, than it would be position of financial analyst. In the further text I would focus myself on the financial analysis and firms that need financial analyst (also called security and investment analyst), like banks, insurance companies, mutual and pension funds, securities firms. However I tried to be realistic, so I didn't look to much into future. I focused my self on today and possible internships in this field.…

    Deeply intrigued by this area of financial engineering, I chose to research on the modeling of stock cycling and portfolio trading in my final year project. It has been very interesting to learn about how to extract rules from trading data and model traders’ behavior with the application of models such as genetic algorithm, reinforcement learning and artificial neural networks. During the process, I further realized the importance of solid mathematical, financial and programming knowledge and skills required for the career pursuit of financial engineers. I think attending Cornell’s Financial Engineering program will prepare me theoretically and practically for that. And I believe my previous academic and professional experience make me a good fit for this program.…
