Corporate Finance is suitable for the following courses: Introduction to Corporate Finance, Corporate Finance, Principles of Finance, Financial Management, or similar titles at the undergraduate level at both two- and four-year colleges and universities, and first courses in the MBA finance curriculum.
Corporate Finance was specifically written to be an online resource to provide on-demand review of concepts and successfully close gaps in problem-solving skills. In a typical corporate finance course, a lot of time is spent on key mathematical concepts, which doesn’t leave much time to apply the concepts. To combat this challenge, the online book includes a series of over 330 author-recorded videos embedded throughout. The format encourages students to push beyond rote memorization of “how to do the math” and practice operations in conjunction with mastering key concepts. This learning strategy frees up valuable time to teach problem solving, analyze cases, or discuss current financial events. Students gain more opportunities to apply key concepts to the real world of finance and truly understand the meaning behind the numbers.
