Modelling the Market: Part One
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows that it is not possible to be certain what the market will do next. The mathematical ideas covered are:
• Time series
• Percentage change
• Random walks
• Geometric mean
• Normal distribution and mean
• Relationship between standard deviation and variance
• Stochastic modelling contrasted with deterministic modelling
