This is the most theoretical of the course sequences, focusing
on the graduate level mathematics needed for the program, and
taught specifically with an eye toward finance.
For MFM students who are *not* asked to take FM 5001/5002, this
can be taken at any time. Those who are asked to take FM 5001/5002
must finish FM 5001/5002, with grades of "B" or better (in both
courses) before beginning FM 5011/5012. Any exceptions must be
approved by the Director of the MFM program.
