HS1 Finance & Entrepreneurship

The two-semester course Finance and Entrepreneurship builds students’ understanding of how financial principles operate in both their personal lives and in the larger economy. Students develop a solid understanding of fundamental personal finance skills and then expand the scope of their inquiry to investigate the creation, management and effects of entrepreneurial enterprise. Students participate in a year-long experiential entrepreneurial project to develop and apply a diverse set of mathematical skills to the study of personal and professional finance. The first semester of the course focuses on the personal finance that all individuals must master in order to secure a sound financial future. Topics include: income and taxes; budgeting and banking; credit and debt; and saving and investing. In the second semester, the scope of the course expands to examine how basic financial principles operate in the larger economy. A theoretical understanding of such topics as the interaction between consumers and producers, supply and demand, the profit motive, markets, interest rates and credit, inflation, unemployment, and GNP will develop as the foundation for students’ practical experience. The course is presented in a mathematical context and is computationally intensive. Students will need to have demonstrated proficiency in algebraic and geometric skills gained in their Freshman and Sophomore years in order to be successful in the course.
