Which industries use the "end of period" and "beginning of period" options in the PMT, FV, PV and other financial functions.
When I've taken out a personal loan at the bank, I was never asked "Would you like to pay at the end of the month? or would you like to pay at the beginning of the month?"

Which types of transactions?  Is it non-USA entities?  Is it real estate? Asset-based loans?
Can anyone point to an article, blog post, or video that discusses who uses the last option in these financial functions.

I'm looking for CISM (Cert Info Security Mgt) exam dumps :
anyone can point me to where to get.

Used to have VMWare & Cisco dumps but can't locate them.

Without getting side-tracked by arguments of whether 0.9 recurring can ever equal 1, is there an accepted mathematical expression for the difference between 0.9r and 1?

I am considering whether the starting position for the pattern vis-a-vis the searched text,  (i.e. the LAST CHARACTER of the pattern be aligned) ought to initially coincide with the first appearance of that LAST CHARACTER in the searched Text, *provided that appearance is equal to or more than the length of the Pattern*, since otherwise the index would have occurred too early in the sequence to be valid.

Consider this illustration from the B-M paper :


The B-M algo would 'mismatch' the final T from the 'pat' with the F from the 'string', and move the pattern past the F, to align the A with the I. Whereas the first contending T in the pattern and the string is at index 17 in the string, rather than the standing comparison being done at index 7.

Dear experts

I am preparing for Financial Engineering/stochastic calculus.

In the high-school level books I am referring to, the 'application of derivatives chapter' covering:

errors and approximations
Geometrical interpretation of the derivative
(normal/subtangent)
Lenth of tangent, normal, subtangent and subnormal
Angles between two curves and condition for orthogonality of curves
Derivative as a rate of change
Rolle's Theorem and Lagrange's theorem
Increasing and decreasing function
Global extreme and local extreme value
First derivative test/second derivative
Maxima and minima

I guess the above topics are explained with a view that students will further pursue engineering background.

CAn any of the experts please recommend if there is any book which focuses the application of the derivatives for those pursuing stochastic calculus or financial engineering.

Dear experts,

I am doing the heavy lifting for Financial Engineering. As I am beginner in the Mathematics.
Can anyone please help me understand if the below book is good for gaining good understanding to the extent required for Financial Engineering or Stochastic Calculus? Or will this be an overdose.
I am not sure if this book was recommended to me by some expert here or I happened to collect this information from some external source.

Kindly advice.

Dear experts,

I have now started classes for Financial Engineering.

I am not clear about the breadth /depth of topics in Vector Algebra required for Financial Engineering. I understand vectors also include vector spaces, vector matrix and vector calculus.

I have the following list of topics under Vector from high-school.

Can anyone please highlight which of these topics are required for Financial Engineering. Alternatively, if any of the experts have a list or an url which identifies the topics, please forward me.

I have done search in quantnet and other google results but could not get any clarity.

Dear experts,

I understand 'e' as in Log number to the base 'e' is used in a lot of scientific calculations.

CAn anyone please guide me on notes or (youtube) videos which explain its application in the field of Financial Engineering (like stochastic calculus)

I want to benefit of the experts' prior knowledge or experience.

Thank you

I have plotted sales revenue graphs on all the items under a certain brand.

From the graphs that I have plotted, can you help me identify any patterns or trends in the sales of each of the items under the brand? :)

Hi to all,

I use findpeaks function in my code to calculate the four maximum values of a fft function.

I use it in this way:

[maxpeaks, idx] = findpeaks(10*log10(psdx),'MinPeakDistance',195,'NPeaks',4,'MinPeakHeight', -Inf, 'SortStr','descend')

The problem is that I need to run the code in a Matlab version which doesn't have the Signal Processing Toolbox. Is there any solution to write a similar function without the need of the SP Toolbox?

Thank you!

Dear experts,

Can anyone point to any online site which can has c/c++/Python programs written/used for Financial Engineering.

The idea is show the content/calculations involved in Financial Engineering to my tutor who can then teach me leading to building my fundamentals.

My tutors teaches for Engineering college students and may not have the orientation of Financial Engineering programming features/calculations.

Kindly guide.

Thank you

Hello! I am trying to figure out (am I am completely new to Livecycle) how to track an employees time they spent traveling whether it be in one day or for overseas folks multiple days, and either find the time duration or adding the estimated time it takes for each segment of their trip in order to calculate the time our of their normal work hours they are eligible for time compensation. I cannot decide if its easier to do a duration between two times or do like the previous form in excel , and calculate with decimals. After the time duration is calculated, they will enter in either decimals or mins, the time it takes to get from their home to work and it will be subtracted from the total hours they spent traveling. I have been searching for formulas to do this but I don't have an experience with javaspript or formcalc. When someone does post a formula I have no idea how to implement it into livecycle. Thanks!
