| "Fundamental of Financial Mathematics and Capital Budgeting" |
| "This course begins with a look at the determinants of value. We will cover two main approaches to valuing businesses as going concerns, discounting cash flows and valuation ratios, including the inputs needed to perform the calculations and how each deal with risk. We then proceed to look at the time value of money concepts - present value and future value and the role interest rates plays in the calculation of each. This course also covers the impact of different compounding frequencies and explains the methodologies used to make comparisons between interest rates based on different compounding conventions. We’ll learn how to calculate the future value of lump sums and cash flow streams (including period certain annuities) as well as calculate the present value of lump sums, cash flow streams (including period certain annuities and perpetuities—both constant and growing).

We’ll also learn how to calculate free cash flow (to the firm and to the equity holders) using information from corporate financial statements Next, we’ll discuss the factors that would need to be factored into a free cash flow projection for a DCF valuation, including but not limited to issues impacting sales growth, margins (net and operating) and leverage (operating and financial). We’ll also cover the macroeconomic, industry sector and company-specific factors that color the context for cash flow projections (e.g. industry/product lifecycle or competitive analysis). Next, we’ll learn how to calculate a terminal value for a DCF valuation and discuss issues regarding the sensitivity of a terminal value to assumed growth and discount rates as well as a factor related to the determination of reasonable estimates for those inputs. We’ll also learn how to calculate the value of a firm and the value of its equity using DCF analysis given the appropriate free cash flow projections and discount rates.

Here are the key content areas that will be addressed over 5 modules: Over 5 million Americans and an estimated 24 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given the exponential aging of the population, these numbers are expected to increase dramatically over the next few decades; Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults and has both genetic and environmental factors in its development; AD is characterized by a variety of cognitive symptoms, including short-term memory loss, problems with problem-solving, judgment and recognition. There are also changes in mood and neuropsychiatric symptoms such as depression, hallucinations and paranoia. Behavioral expressions, include irritability, agitation, resistance to care, and wandering. In the later stages, the person is dependent in all activities of daily living and requires total care; There is no known cause, effective treatment or cure, but there are currently two classes of medications approved to enhance cognitive function, as well as, lifestyle-based preventive strategies thought to possibly reduce risk; There are evidence-based therapeutic approaches and communication strategies to enhance interactions and optimally, prevent behavioral expressions; The key principles of care for the hospitalized person with Alzheimer’s disease are examined, including the importance of therapeutic communication strategies to prevent behavioral expressions and other complications such as delirium and falls; Lastly, the essential role of the dementia caregiver is discussed, including potential consequences, stresses and gratifications, as well as the resources available."

| "Ce cours vous permettra d’apprendre comment élaborer un programme économique et financier à l’aide de données économiques réelles et d’améliorer vos compétences en matière d’analyse de politiques macroéconomiques. L’exercice de programmation financière simule ce que les économistes du FMI (Fonds monétaire international) font régulièrement dans leurs travaux de surveillance avec les pays membres et de conception des programmes . Dans la première partie du cours (modules 1–7), vous analyserez les perspectives économiques d’un pays et établirez ensuite un scénario de référence — à savoir un ensemble de projections pour les principaux secteurs macroéconomiques (réel, extérieur, des administrations publiques et monétaire) qui reflètent l’évolution de l’économie dans l’année à venir, en supposant que la politique demeure inchangée. Dans la deuxième partie (modules 8–10), vous examinerez comment utiliser les mesures de politiques pour réduire les déséquilibres macroéconomiques. Vous analyserez notamment comment fonctionnent les politiques monétaire, budgétaire et de change en utilisant un modèle keynésien simple d’une économie ouverte. Dans le dernier module, vous établirez le scénario d’un programme appuyé par le FMI pour le pays de notre étude de cas. Le cours sur la programmation et les politiques financières, partie 2, est assuré par le FMI avec le concours financier du gouvernement du Japon."
