Finance is simple once we lose the phobia of the numbers and math. I embraced finance, via crypto, and I feel like a fish in water. This is where I belong. No fear. I embrace it all.

    Hello! The reason I am coming to watch your videos is I want to do some automation solving problems and creating a site that will make the financial more easy to use to the normal humans. I do have a bachelor degree of finance and economic informatics (a combination between computer programming and finance) but it is always good to see different points of view and to have a deep dive in finance.

      +Rob Afoa Sorry, it looks like there aren't any problem sets, only a couple of exams with solutions. From the Syllabus, "There are no required problem sets. However, we provide optional problem sets and solutions in the form of the MIT Sloan Finance Problems and Solutions Collection, and the majority of the questions on the midterm and final examinations will be taken verbatim from this document."
