Veselý, Michal ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Samek, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to examine relations from the field of financial mathematics concerning consumer and cash loans. Further objects of interest are various types of loan repaying, interest calculation and generating the installment schedule. The result of this mathemetical principles analysis is a complex simulator of installment schedule which was created for testing and configuration purposes in HCI company (Home Credit International).

Creation of worksheets for teaching financial mathematics at lower and upper secondary levels
Dolák, Tomáš ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Janda, David (referee)
In this thesis, I focus on the creation and application of worksheets for teaching financial mathematics in primary and secondary schools. Not only do these worksheets enhance students' knowledge of financial mathematics, but they also bolster their financial literacy. Furthermore, these tools can be employed to practice a range of skills such as programming, algorithm design, information retrieval, group discussions, and independent problem-solving. A key feature of these worksheets is their structure, which follows the Cornell Notes system. This system emphasizes formulating questions, taking notes, and creating indi- vidual summaries. Additionally, I have incorporated a student-centered self-assessment system into the worksheets, enabling students to track their achievement of the goals set by the worksheets. The main objective of this work is to create worksheets for teaching, and then test these worksheets in the classroom. Another aim is to analyze the students' solutions and propose potential approaches to individual tasks that teachers can implement in their lessons. After the students completed the worksheets, I analyzed their solutions and sub- sequently conducted a questionnaire survey among the pupils to gather further infor- mation. This survey either supported or contradicted my...

Collection of exercises from financial mathematics for secondary schools of economics
STEHLÍKOVÁ, Andrea
The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to compile a collection of solved examples from financial mathematics for high schools with economic specialization. The solved examples are focused on wages, financial household management and investment products (specifically on savings accounts, time deposits, a construction loan and supplementary pension savings). The starting point for the formation of tasks were Curriculum frameworks for business schools. In the process of creating exercises, emphasis was put on the development of crucial competencies with the Curriculum frameworks for business schools in the process of tasks.

Financial mathematics on the internet with the support by cdf format
GLASER, Leoš
This bachelor thesis focuses on the use of the proprietary interactive Computable Document Format (CDF) by Wolfram Research for financial mathematics. The theoretical part presents selected products of Wolfram Research, describes CDF format together with its most common fields of application. The practical part deals with the development of CDF applications for selected areas of financial mathematics. It shows the process of developing these applications using the Wolfram Mathematica software. Partial aim of this thesis is to publish these applications online in order to make them easily accessible to the general public so that they can serve as a supporting material for teaching or learning financial mathematics.

Collection of exercises of financial mathematics for lower secondary school
HRUŠKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on exercises and their solutions from financial mathematics. The collection is for the lower secondary school. The starting points for this thesis are the National Financial Education Strategy, Framework Education Programme for primary schools, School Education Programme of selected schools, Maths textbook for the lower secondary school. The first part contains a definition of the concept of financial literacy, as well as an assessment of the current situation of financial literacy. The second part presents exercises that are divided by curriculum. The exercises are aimed at using mathematical operations to work with finances in everyday life. There is a concisely defined theory on each topic.

Financial Mathematics in Czech Textbooks from the Marchets's Reform
Melcer, Martin ; Bečvářová, Martina (advisor) ; Hora, Jaroslav (referee) ; Odvárko, Oldřich (referee)
Title: Financial Mathematics in Czech textbooks from the Marchet's Reform Author: Martin Melcer Department: Department of Mathematics Education Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Martina Bečvářová, Ph.D. Abstract: The PhD thesis presents a comprehensive view of the development and the position of financial mathematics in Czech textbooks and collections particularly those used in high schools with consideration of the political situation in our country. The analysed period from 1908, i.e. from the Marchet's Reform, to the present is divided into five principal stages. In each stage textbooks covering financial mathematics instruction in all types of secondary schools are chosen. This shows the level and extent of the presentation, the complexity of the given tasks and problems and the way in which they are integrated into the textbooks or the syllabus, more precisely. At first the basic general characteristics of the textbooks are presented followed by a detailed description of partial topics of study which are then analysed thoroughly and mutually compared. The conclusions of the PhD thesis reflect the current situation of financial mathematics instruction and offer ways leading to the improvement in the level of financial literacy of our citizens. Keywords: financial mathematics, principal, interest, debt, annuity,...

Financial Mathematics in High Schools
Chrstoš, Tomáš ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Tůmová, Veronika (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the current state of teaching financial literacy and financial mathematics at high schools. The purpose of this thesis is to sum up information about documents that are source for teaching of financial literacy and to inform about current state of its teaching at high schools. Theoretical part concerns with involving of financial mathematics in framework education programme. This part also shows what subjects are involving financial mathematics. Practical part is dedicated to research, which had been realised at selected high school - Technical high school of food technologies, which follows "Food analysis" and "Environmental ecology" FEP. Level of students in financial mathematics is detected though the questionnaire carried out at the chosen school. Using a questionnaire and test. It compares levels of students, who were educated in financial literacy and financial mathematics, and those who weren't. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Financial literacy in primary school
Helus, Jiří ; Hromadová, Jana (advisor) ; Odvárko, Oldřich (referee)
There were about 6.7 % of inhabitants in foreclosure in the Czech Republic in 2020. The most likely cause is population's low financial literacy whose bases we get at primary school. So we asked whether pupils really learn financial literacy at primary school. We found data for teaching plan in the framework educational programme. We realised, using a questionnaire for teachers, among other things that the number of lessons dedicated to financial literacy is really low. We verified fulfilment of framework educational programme by a test for primary school pupils which was completed by 113 pupils. It showed that they have very low knowledge of financial literacy. Then, we evaluated the situation after primary school through the same test which was filled in by 157 people who completed primary school. The results were better than in case of pupils. Finally, we suggested steps for increasing financial literacy, for instance raising the number of lessons. 1
