This course is intended as an advanced consideration of quantitative methods and reasoning for finance and management students, although other social scientists make use of the some of the main principles and procedures we will examine. Most of the techniques are fairly standard and are employed in the exploratory data analysis approach. Along with discovering statistics using SPSS/Excel, we will examine a variety of professional journal articles representing management, finance and allied disciplines.
