Overview of Money Math

All professionals engaged in managing the assets of a company or an 
individual, use financial analysis. The foundation of financial 
analysis is mathematical but requires experience and practice beyond 
just understanding and using the equations. Since some of the equations 
are difficult and tedious to solve, it can be very beneficial to have 
software available to handle the mathematics quickly and accurately. 
Money Math tries to meet those needs.

Money Math has two principal menus that will connect you to the built-
in calculation power. The Calculation menu has a group of sub-menus 
designed to obtain an answer to many common financial questions. For 
example, you can calculate the mortgage payment for an assumed home 
purchase. You can calculate the yield-to-maturity on a bond or CD you 
are considering purchasing. These menu items will handle all of the 
calculations taught in a college level course in financial mathematics.

The Worksheet menu takes the calculations one step further. These sub-
menus combine the basic calculations to solve more complex problems. 
You can easily determine if it is economical to refinance or prepay a 
home mortgage. You can also project your retirement income from an IRA 
or 401K plan or work up the economics for a proposed project.

Money Math provides you with a set of financial calculations that apply 
to most of todays financial analysis needs. The extensive Help 
available will allow you to find your way to the exact calculation that 
will solve your problem.
