Motivation: what is finance, subfields of finance. A key concept in finance: an example.

The subject matter is difficult and new (to you) Hard-working (and smart) students get good grades. Review the lectures afterwards with your study group. Do lots of practice problems in groups and alone. Ask questions: a little extra hard work makes up for a lot of smart, so.
