[讨论]没有金融背景，数学不好的人有希望过吗? style, white

hyj2008

本人看过了2009年的notes，但是里面有好多看不懂的数学公式！本人英语超过6极水平，但是数学真的很差，大学都是学纯粹文科，毕业后误打误撞进了金融行业工作，但是时间不长，平时也不接触这些数学理论。请各位有经验的高手指教一下，要过level 1 大概需要准备多久？要怎么入手？先感谢大家！

神兜兜

楼主的情况几乎和我一样，而且我从事的职业虽然也是金融行业，但还不像你分析期货那样需要了解那么多公式呢。我已经过了一级，打算报考二级。和楼主分享一下我的体会。一方面，国内大学的文科教育基本上和专科没什么很大区别，我连最基本的经济学都没有上过（相对来说，非金融专业的理科生考CFA可能因为有一些数理知识，不会像我们这样感到困难重重），而这些知识我觉得应该是任何人都应该了解的，哪怕不从事金融行业，每天发生的那些财经新闻，央行刺激经济的一系列手段，都是日常必备的常识。学习CFA相当于补了大学四年在金融方面的空白。另外一方面，从事金融行业，要想日后有更大发展，在国内没有相关资质文凭几乎是不可能的。而且自己也会因为缺少专门的知识感到心虚。也不可能重新回学校从本科学起。而CFA给了你一个系统学习的机会，所以考试费也和大学学费一样我觉得也是合理的。不过，对于非专业、一点背景都没有的文科生来说，这个过程是很艰难的。因为这是拔苗助长的速成，编排得再好的教材，要速成还是需要花费很大精力的。

anyway，希望楼主坚定信心，顺利通过！

Hi,coolzwy.I'm very glad to see your message here again.

I got an opportunity to have a lecture for Quantitative Analysis on Level one today.The whole lecture covers statistical concepts and market retuns.I think it's not difficult as I image before.After the lecture I made a decision to have a try on level one this year.

You are brilliant! I lived with parents in Shanghai without family obligation.

Anyway,thanks for your encouragement!

Hi Hyj, Congrats!  I'm glad you made the decision.  And I'm proud of you became a CFA candidate with no finance/Math academic background.  Please feel free to contact me if you need help and I would like to hear any progress you make.  Good luck,

John

P.S. Where did you have the CFA review classes?  One of my friends in Shanghai asked.  Would you please send me some information about it?  Thank you,

sylvestre

为什么不去努力一下呢？光在这里空谈有没有希望，不如自己实践一下

哦，我刚刚忘了说谢谢你分享你的经验。这几个问题确实很重要，不过我已经有答案啦！

U R welcome hyj, it was glad to hear that you had those answers already. ..Go back to the questions you asked, Will you give a try for the level one? Do you make your decision yet?

Don't let the money issue become a real issue when you make decisions for your future at your age, if you really have a clear vision and passion to seize the opportunity and realize your dream.  As you said, you have a pretty good job in a investment related company (I guess u r in Shanghai or ShengZhen).  I assume that you are not that tight on $ and no family obligation.  So each cent you spend/invest is to/for yourself.  (pay attention on these two words 'spend' and 'invest').  It's all about change the ratio between those two in the future    For me, the biggest cost will not be the physical $ mount we will spend on it but the opportunity cost we will pay. 

Last, 你是文科的，please review李白的‘将进酒’line 4. Ha ha。。。

coolzwy,谢谢你给我的鼓励，真的很感谢！我已经考过了期货行业的证书，里面的数学计算也有好多，都是期货套利，期权方面的题目。但是，就是由于此证书代价太高，因此顾虑必然很大。
