Short Description:
For students, the high cost of educational resources and textbooks can be a serious obstacle to the accessibility and affordability of a post-secondary education. For instructors, traditional educational resources may also present a barrier to innovation in teaching and curriculum design. Fortunately, open educational resources (OER) provide a viable solution to both these issues. OER can be accessed for free online or printed at a fraction of the cost of a traditional textbook, and can be edited to better fit the curricular or pedagogical goals of an instructor.

L'objectif de ce module est de présenter les bases du calcul financier, en se focalisant sur le concept central de taux d'intérêt. Les techniques d'intérêt simple et d'intérêt composé sont décrites et appliquées au calcul de la valeur acquise à une date future d’un flux financier payé aujourd’hui (technique de capitalisation). Le principe de l’actualisation visant à déterminer aujourd’hui la valeur actuelle d’un flux futur est ensuite étudié. La prise en compte d’une série de flux financiers échéants à diverses dates conduit à la notion d’annuité dont on calcule les valeurs actuelles et acquises.
Ce module introductif à la mathématique financière sera suivi d’autres modules consacrés à des problématiques pratiques de la finance (amortissement d’un emprunt hypothécaire, calcul du rendement d’un projet d’investissement, …).
