For graduate courses in investments.
Spreadsheet Modeling in Investments teaches students how to build financial models in Excel. This book and CD provides step-by-step instructions so that students can build models themselves (active learning), rather than handing students canned "templates" (passive learning). The spreadsheet models progress from simple examples to practical, real-world applications.
