As Financial Analyst, tell how many percentage of each math subjects is use in your real job? |
example: Arithmatic: 40% Algebra: 20% Calculus: 3% Trigonometry: 2% Geometry: 5% Statistics: 20% etc.: 10% all make up for 100% I agree with Leah that, in general, as a financial analyst, you will not use the subjects you listed, per se, with the exception of Arithmetic (yes - use a calculator) and you will occasionally have to use Stats. Excel will be your best friend, so I suggest you get very comfortable using Excel, and a lot of its functionality (vlookup, hlookup, sumif, etc), as this will make you a much more efficient analyst. Source(s): Financial analyst for 4+ years. Arithmetic - use a calculator Algebra - not at all Calculus - nope Trig - nope Geometry - nope Statistics - not really Etc - yeah... that Mostly what you use is Excel - it helps to know how to use excel, complicated worksheets, and be able to predict the future...... 25+ years in banking/accounting. Financial Analyst for 2 years. I remember when I graduated I had similar thoughts. It's difficult to use percentage but I can say that arithmetic and statistics will comprise almost any analytical position. The understanding of the basic concepts and the tools you learned in the degree are what will provide a foundation for an analytical position. Research www.bls.gov to discover what an analyst does and through this deduct what skill set you need to acquire. Analyst 2+ years. |
