Course Outlines
Financial modeling refers to the process of constructing a mathematical model designed to capture as realistically as possible the relationships between inputs and outputs. The resulting model is often an abstraction of reality. The more detailed the model, the closer it comes to representing reality, but in practice no model is perfect. The purpose of this course is to equip the manager with a basic understanding of how a broad set of financial modeling is carried out in practice. The emphasis is on the algorithms and inputs used to generate hard numbers which can be used to support managerial decision making. As such, this course focuses on the practical aspects of modeling—not on abstract theoretical ones.
