Does diploma in finance / banking and finance required additional maths skills ? And does anyone know what is quantitative methods ? Is it addmaths or modern mathematics?

Tak reti baca course requirement ke?

Yes

If quantitative you probably need pure maths.
Just normal finance you will probably need add maths.
But either way the pre u course will have. Gooduck with integrals lel

Even i non-finance course also need some add math knowledge. If finance, confirm la need.

Statistic and calculus?

Answer is NO

Accounting, finance and economics no need for Additional Maths

If you take Actuarial Science, engineering then yes

No, u kena con edi

Simple add maths.

You can master in few lessons if you are average student.

of course, to a certain extent. You need to know algebra in finance to calculate interest rate etc but not too sure if it is required at diploma level.
the good news is that more complex add maths such as calculus is not needed if I am not mistaken.

quantitative methods should be basic introduction to mathematical models such as mean, median, interpreting graphs and so on. It shouldn't be too hard if you understand the concept and idea behind it.

I'm going to take foundation and in my foundation have this course and I don't know what is quantitative methods I thought is addmaths so I'm worried ... I didn't take addmaths in my high school. Hahaa luckily not addmaths Thank you for telling me

Integrals? What's that ? I'm really afraid of maths hahaha

Obviously, look at the course requirement
But tbh, finance really need add maths , even if it's not part of the requirement

you plot a graph of time against speed, and from the graph you want to know distance travelled from time a to time b
the answer is the area under the curve , from a to b
you can either find the area manually, or integrate

Later black Scholes model integrals everywhere. Derivatives of derivatives lel

no calculus, even if there is, it's not in depth as in engineering

Need add maths.
U ll learn those along the way.
CAGR mathematics is not modern maths. Its quite complicating if u didnt do add maths.

Need quantum physic yo

im from accounting n finance

you need to count the standard deviation of how alpha, beta and gamma affect the fiscal and monetary policy which will simultaneously affect the financial market of the local country. Depends how the management of company react to the events but it will cause a slightly effect to the statement of financial position, statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity.

In short, quantum physics is an essential subject in accounting and finance

Fourier Transform and Laplace is required

quantitative methods in finance ie treasury means usually derivative pricing methods ie Monte Carlo simulation, pde, stochastic calculus . from fund management perspective, markowitz portfolio theory as a bare minimum. as usual disconnect between such courses offered here and what local banks actually need. jist ask ur lecturer has he/she ever worked a s a REAL quant before.just stick to the basic diploma in banking and finance. quant space is dead in kl. local banks don't need quants, they prefer derivative sales ppl ie focus is on margin business with low capital cost..

but in exam tekan calculator je kan ?
plug in numbers into formula

are you asked to derive the formula ? tak kan ? this is not maths degree

Ya tekan calc. But must understand. Uni lvl non math subject dont test on math derivation gua

Physics ?

Ohh I see , may I know what course u r taking ? Is it finance also ?

Ohh okay I will learn soon Hahaha even though I don't know what is that too

I took an elective course in uni
Basic finance for non-finance students (students from other courses) already involve compounding interest ,power , logs, exponential function , calculus etc
Surely for finance students will be harder

Add maths SPM is not hard and very useful, strongly encouraged

What is calculus ? Got algebras too ? I never heard that before too 😅 I only heard statistics only

Yes

Even doing sales require to know the basics

Accounting/Economics is completely necessary

Btw, why do diploma? Go for degree. Nobody do diploma these days. Course fee almost the same

Fcuk me. How old are you?

derivative and intergral you learn in addmath, you need to master algebra for calculus, its elementary

Because my friend told me that it would be easier to study when degree in second year and diploma would be easier to study(I don't think so)they told me like that... And if take diploma can study more right ? I plan to study foundation then go degree and suddenly I feel like wanna change do diploma

18 lol ...

Just take. Majority of the course need add maths anyway

Drillz pls. I can take u to a higher plane, mathematically speaking...

Lol never know that finance degree is considered quantitative in nature. I always thought that at most they will just need to compute some ratio and maybe solving some algebra which is pretty much common sense. A slightly more "quantitative" subject you may encounter might be econometric which involve things like regression, time series and maybe techniques for pricing option/derivative etc. In conclusion it involves minimal mathematics but you should at least be confortable with the basics. Bye.

Foundation easy le. I failed add math SPM also can pass foundation qm and maths

no need, modern maths can gao dim

add maths is for those electrical / mechanical engineer ... got imaginary number one

Really meh? foundation easy? hahaha which uni u r in?

Statics and calculus different or same subject ?

statistic is a different ball game, its easy

why not see for yourself? https://www.coursera.org/learn/quantitative-methods

Ohh I see , between what course are u taking ?

Okay thanks for the link ! I have tried to search but I can't find it 😅

last time took founation at nottingham msia

Quantitative methods and statistics got difference? U said like median etc... Are they similar too?

U genius of course can la hahaha

Now ur degree course is what?

SPM Add Maths is really basic and easy, just take it and practice.

Quantitative methods is more towards basic finance and statistics.

No add maths knowledge is required.

I'm going to foundation soon so I think I will suffer during my foundation lol

I finished BA in accounting & finance. Then applied ACCA exemption level 1 & 2. Finished level 3, couple of years ago.

Ohh I see , Ur foundation is business , law and social science? Got addmaths too ?

Business foundation. But still have basic paper like law and science. Add math got but they don't call it add math. Like I said before, foundation programme quite easy to pass.
