finance, theory and practice of conducting large public and private dealings in money. Important institutions of private finance include those that deal with insurance, banking, stocks (see stock), bonds, and other securities. With the development of the national state, public finance—the management of the revenues, expenditures, and debts of the state—has been of great political, as well as economic, importance. The most important source of government revenue is taxes, but sale of public properties and franchises, as well as the sale of interest-bearing bonds, also contribute. Since the Korean War, a large part of governmental expenditures has gone for various military and defense needs. Other important areas of governmental expenditure are health, education, and welfare (the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid programs); interest on the national debt; and public works. Important institutions of international finance are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Monetary Fund.

Yep.  Old school is a good thing.  You might actually learn something.  Finance is going to be really important if you're going into business, and to be successful in this class, you'll need to actually understand the concepts somewhat.  Just grab a little extra caffeine before class so you'll stay awake.

In financial markets, stock is the capital raised by a corporation through the issuance and distribution of shares.\n\nA person or organization which holds share of stocks is called a shareholder. The aggregate value of a corporation's issued shares is its market capitalization\n\nIn finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British English, the usage of the word share alone to refer solely to stocks is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself.\n\nA share is one of a finite number of equal portions in the capital of a company, entitling the owner to a proportion of distributed, non-reinvested profits known as dividends and to a portion of the value of the company in case of liquidation. Shares can be voting or non-voting, meaning they either do or do not carry the right to vote on the board of directors and corporate policy. Whether this right exists often affects the value of the share.

Interest refers solely to the payments received for use of money. That is, the amount of the investment * the interest rate.\n\nOperation of capital is found by subtracting all costs associated with the investment (transaction fees, associated accounting costs, etc) from the interest payments.  Operation of capital is a much more real-world measure of how the investments are paying off.
