MIT MIT-OCW
Finance Theory I
Andrew Lo of MIT's Sloan School teaches the core theory behind modern financial economics: capital markets and intermediaries, fixed-income securities, common stocks, forwards and futures, options, and the CAPM. The Fall 2008 OpenCourseWare page posts full video lectures organized into eleven topic groups (present value relations through efficient markets), plus recitations, problem sets with solutions, and exams with solutions. It closes with a unit on capital budgeting and a course summary lecture tying the theory back to practical valuation. Listed at the graduate level, it assumes some quantitative comfort but no prior finance coursework, and every material on the page is free to download under MIT's Creative Commons license.
