This essential teaches basic formulas, methods and ideas of classical
financial mathematics. Since classical financial mathematics makes do
with elementary mathematical tools, any interested reader with average
mathematical school knowledge can easily follow this text. The core of
the text is the calculation of interest and compound interest, annuity
calculation, amortization calculation and price calculation. A large
number of practical examples illustrate the mathematical questions.
This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st
edition essentials, Klassische Finanzmathematik by Bernd Luderer,
published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature
in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial
intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A
subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so
that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional
translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the
development of tools for the production of books and on the related
technologies to support the authors.
