A spiral approach to financial mathematics

'A Spiral Approach to Financial Mathematics' lays a foundation of intuitive analysis of financial concepts early in the course, followed by a more detailed and nuanced treatment in later chapters.

It introduces major financial concepts through real situations, integrates active learning, student focused explorations and examples with Excel spreadsheets and straightforward financial calculations.

It is organized so sections can be read independently or through in-class guided-discovery activities and/or interactive lectures.
