I do not know what sort of mathematics u guys are taught in your CA course but the ICAI ,i.e.,the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has a comprehensive mathematics syllabus right in the entrance examination starting from Algebra to differential and integral Calculas to statistics.Later on in the intermediate and final examinations there are subjects like Cost accounting,Financial Management,MAFA,SFM which encompasses Capital Market Instruments
Financial derivatives – stock futures, stock options, index futures, index options
Option valuation techniques : Binomial model, Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, Greeks – Delta, Gamma, Theta, Rho and Vega
Pricing of Futures – Cost of carry model
Imbedded derivatives
Yaraa I'm in my last leg of ACCA & then ICAEW !
Haan yaar but that is rudimentary mathematics - Heck I studied tougher Mathematics at my A'Levels & as part of my Additional Mathematics curriculum in the O'levels !
Calculus bhi kitnaa ko complicated hotaa haiii hamariii stage peii ? Most of the mathematical work & statistical modelling is already done by Actuaries & we rely so heavily on their work.
