Matemáticas Financieras
Las matemáticas como ciencia, en el contexto de las finanzas, son un gran y valioso apoyo de aplicación en los mercados financieros para determinar intereses, montos y capital, mediante las fórmulas aplicadas de interés simple, descuento simple, interés compuesto, descuento compuesto y anualidades. Así también, es un gran apoyo para determinar el valor del dinero en el tiempo mediante las fórmulas de valor futuro y valor presente. En este curso revisaremos las fórmulas de interés simple, descuento simple, interés compuesto, descuento compuesto y anualidades, aplicadas en la solución de micro casos que se presentarán durante el desarrollo del mismo.
