• Financial Econometrics (BUSN 20820/41203) — Prof. Jeffrey Russell
• Decoding FinTech (BUSN 41813) — Prof. Dacheng Xiu

Approach

• Start with geometry
• Add probability
• Introduce notation last
• Never pretend confusion is stupidity
• Use code as a second language, not a crutch

Good teaching doesn’t simplify ideas; it makes complexity navigable and worth the effort.
