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.
