An Experiment

I'm going to try something new this semester.

A single class is going to read a book together.

The class is FIN 6100. It's titled Advanced Topics In Finance. It's an MBA course in (somewhat) advanced finance - mostly options and derivatives.

The book is Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance by Perry Mehrling. The book is on reserve in our library.

Each chapter of the book is divided up into subsections of several paragraphs. Each student will have to summarize one of these subsections, and build of the earlier summaries. During the semester, each student will have to do a bunch of these. In the end, we'll have a collective book summary.
