Welcome,
Financial decisions can impact your future in great and small ways. A seemingly small difference in a financial situation can have long-term effects in either a positive or negative manner. The purpose of this text is to empower students to have confidence in their future financial lives.
Real life scenarios begin every section to emphasize and illustrate the significance of the mathematical concepts discussed in the text. Using the algebraic approach to financial calculations aids in the understanding of why and how each piece of information effects a financial decision. This approach will also illuminate the impact these financial decisions can have on each persons' future. It is our hope that after completing this course, students will have faith and be self-assured that they are making fully educated financial decisions from choosing the correct bank account, making a large purchase, or planning for long term financial security.
