Synopsis

Learn Financial Concepts Efficiently

This book focuses on addressing quantitative topics commonly covered in introductory finance courses in a clear and effective manner. Unlike lengthy textbooks which can often be tedious, this book provides readers with an abridged path to quickly learning, reviewing, and applying financial concepts and equations. The book may also be useful for experienced readers looking for a reference guide or a quick review of basic financial concepts.

Review Basic Finance Principles

As the first volume in the Financial Concepts series, the book covers basic finance principles and formulas. In an attempt to help improve financial literacy, the author has cut down the time required to review and apply basic financial formulas. However, graduates may also benefit from the contained master review sheet which includes over 20 of the most commonly used formulas in a single place.

Prepare for Courses

If planning on taking or currently enrolled in a corporate finance or financial analysis course, the reader may also find this book to be a helpful supplement to their classroom textbook. Since the basic concepts underlying most areas of finance are related, reviewing basic finance topics such as the time value of money and net present value can be helpful to students of almost any finance course.

Book Structure

Financial Concepts I is divided into “lessons” each of which covers an assortment of related concepts. For each concept, I provide a brief explanation, equations/formulas, examples, and a review sheet. In addition, a short self-test (with answers provided), and a one-page master review sheet which contains the 20+ key formulas covered in the book are included at the end for easy reference. Finally, the book comes with a free spreadsheet which you can use in order to solve any problems requiring the formulas in the book.
