CFA Level 1 Quantitative Methods Crash Course

Markos Kolatsis develops quantitative finance study through time value of money, probability and descriptive statistics. NPV, IRR, hypothesis testing and regression connect the formulas with interpretation and worked problems. It is a focused revision route for learners who want to explain a result and its assumptions rather than rely only on recognizing an examination-style calculation.

What you will learn

• Interpret a time-value or return calculation.
• Connect probability and statistics with a finance question.
• Explain a hypothesis-test or regression result.

Who this suits

The course addresses current or prospective CFA Level I candidates. Basic algebra and a suitable calculator are useful; verify current CFA eligibility independently.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current enrollment terms and any separate software, account or materials costs.

Put it into practice

Solve a small fictional finance problem and state the assumptions before calculating. Change one input, interpret the difference and explain what the numerical result cannot establish about the underlying investment or relationship.
