              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.
