This course attempts to explain the role and the importance of the financial system in the global economy.

第一课教授提了几个有趣的问题：

课程之后，你将能够回答类似这样的问题：

当客户要求只许赚不许赔的时候，作为一个基金经理，如何即保证他的要求又有空间实施你的投资策略呢？

一副扑克牌，你抽到一张红的赔一块钱，黑的挣一块钱，随时可以停止。当第一张就抽到黑的之后，还要不要继续呢？答案是要，而且还要抽好几张，可是为什么呢？概率明明已经对你不利了呀？

有人以3:2的赔率和你赌了30万美元赌扬基队会赢道奇队，大家公认的胜率是1:1。你的期望为正，可是20万还是很大风险，那么如何和其他人用等赔率下注来对冲你的所有风险呢？
