Hello I'd like to know if finance is hectic and if it involves a lot of maths?

@hayespipes 7 месяцев назад

@@lafezekangema__ I’ve found finance to be very manageable. The only math class I had to take was business calculus my freshman year. I placed out of the basic math class with my ACT score. Accounting and finance classes can involve some math though. Accounting is almost exclusively addition and subtraction. Finance sometimes involves ratios and you have to know how to calculate stuff like projected earnings, interest, dividends, etc. You’ll still have to take accounting classes as a finance major, but more finance classes than accounting.

@@lafezekangema__ Sorry for the delayed response. I think the math is very manageable. The only math class I’ve taken was my first semester of freshman year. It was Business Calculus and I passed with a B-. Any other math is simple stuff in Finance and Accounting classes. This is stuff like adding and subtracting on a balance sheet, plugging in values into financial formulas, and calculating things like rate of return which is just addition and multiplication for the most part.

@gabrielbrewster4806 7 месяцев назад

@@ElevateToTheUnknown If the topic is just about which degree to get? Then (It seems) students can never know what they will enjoy, until they are already in it and want to switch degrees/ majors/ careers because it's nothing like what they thought it would be. I am thinking:- 1. financial accounting 2. management accounting and 3. finance should ALL (three) be compared side by side. so a distinction between a "Management Accountant" vs "Financial Analyst" could be brought forward, because I can't find these two ideas being compared anywhere. But, in all of these comparative videos between Accounting and Finance, the idea that "Finance" focuses on the future whilst "Accounting" focuses on the past is heavily promoted.
