Student must be able to clearly specify basic steps and have, at least, elementary understanding of the very nature of required data and of the consequences of his/her decisions. Important aspect is the inevitable complexity of a decision. Predictions as the very basic investment-related task. Description of the basic types of investments. Description of goal functions used to evaluate investments, risk, profit, and liquidity. Brief description of characteristics of different types of investments and their evaluations in relation with trade offs

The following skills and knowledge are the very basics - high school level (geometry), university level (ability to for a set of linear equations and solve them using a computer, linear programming, elementary knowledge of statistics). Elementary knowledge of fuzzy logic is desirable (definition of a fuzzy set, intersection and union of fuzzy sets, a conditional statement). Time series, elementary understanding of numerical filtration

Not applicable.

Lectures consist of an explanation of basic principles, methodology of the discipline, problems and their solutions.

The first exam is based on a written test only. A student fails is he/she does not reach the limit 50 points out of 100. The second exam is written and / or oral.

The course is divided into the following parts according to their topics:

" Unsteady state behaviours of a complex stream of investments / money in a complex systems with many sub systems, which are mutually interconnected into an oriented graph. An oriented arc represents either continuous or discontinuous money transfers. A detailed study of a simplified problem in steady state with a mathematical model represented by a set of linear equations.

" Analysis of the very basic investment compromises i.e. a good (meaningful) compromise between risk and profit within an information poor environment where a significant shortage of data is made more complex by vagueness of available data. Such compromises are studied as a multicriterial one and addition criteria e.g. liquidity can be additionally attached.

" A specification of a decision tree based on disintegration of ad hoc decision processes into a set of decisions and set of lotteries with specific emphasis placed on long term investments under conditions of high risks.

" Investments in knowledge economy represented by hi tech companies

Not applicable.

The main goal of the course is to integrate the knowledge gained in the course of whole university study, especially in mathematics, statistics, operational research, finance, micro and macroeconomics, for solution of investment-related tasks. The emphasis is placed on 1) formalisation of specific tasks and their consecutive computer-aided solution 2) Interpretations of available, mostly very vague, pieces of information.
