what about MX1 would that be reccomended? for possibly more complex aspects in the finance field such as stock market analysis, option pricing, prediction of movements in international money markets and financial risk management?
predictions of movements in international money markets does not require MX1. If someone does know what it requires, please let me know.

Currently doing option pricing, mathematically really isnt challenging... the real difficulty is understanding the concepts behind the forumlas/method and applying it. Once you know the concept the maths is really easy.
I challenge you to go out and price real world options, if it is indeed 'easy'.

I agree. There is a big difference between finance courses teaching finance and maths courses teaching finance.
so you wouldn't reccomend the B M&F over the B comm with finance major?

Admittingly the finance course i'm doing is a second year subject.. so im only expressing an opinion based on the fundamentals ie using black scholes to evaluate mergers, npv, risk neutral method etc

Probably pretty naive of me to say it was 'easy'...
