Are there math courses in university that teach you how to invest in the stock market?
（If there is courses that teach you this, can you give me a website so I can check it out. I am planning to go to TrentU in Ontario. So if you can link me a page on trentu.ca you get best answer!）
Answer ：
To be honest with you, investing in the stock market does not involve extensive knowledge of mathematics. On the contrary, I would not be surprised if the majority of the most successful investors had very little understanding of mathematics.
Most of the time, academics develop the models used in the securities industry because they have an interest in understanding how the stock market works but they have no interest in playing the trading game.
Also, let me warn you that there is no mathematical formula that can give you a concrete answer as to whether or not you should invest in a certain company. The factors involved in that decision are very subjective.
