Calculus includes the study of functional forms, powers and polynomials, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation and partial differentiation, unconstrained optimisation, global and local optima, graphical analysis. Financial mathematics involves areas of mathematics used extensively in accounting and finance. Preparatory statistics cover descriptive statistics, such as frequency distribution, central tendency and dispersion. |
