El objetivo de este libro es mostrar a través de ejemplos y ejercicios resueltos las posibilidades de trabajo con Microsoft Excel en el mundo de las finanzas. Aunque la mayoría del trabajo que se presenta es factible con las versiones 2000/2002/2003/2007 de Excel, el contenido del libro comienza con una presentación sencilla del trabajo en el entorno de Excel 2010 y un análisis de las funciones de apoyo más habituales para el trabajo en el campo financiero que presenta la nueva versión del programa. En la primera parte del contenido se tratan las funciones relativas a préstamos y anualidades y se presentan distintos modelos típicos para el trabajo en este campo. Para todos los modelos se muestran ejemplos de análisis de la sensibilidad y se contempla la construcción en escenarios para tener en cuenta distintas alternativas posibles. También se desarrollan ejemplos sobre la búsqueda de objetivos en los modelos. Más adelante se aborda el trabajo con funciones y modelos sobre valores bursátiles, letras del tesoro y cupones, construyéndose modelos financieros de gestión de renta fija y modelos de gestión de letras del tesoro y otros activos descontados a corto plazo. Para todos estos modelos se presentan ejemplos de análisis de la sensibilidad, análisis de alternativas mediante escenarios y persecución de objetivos. A continuación se analizan las funciones y modelos para el análisis de proyectos de inversión, incluidas las inversiones en valores, teniendo también en cuenta el análisis de la sensibilidad y la construcción de escenarios. Por último, se presentan modelos de amortización que contemplan la construcción de tablas de amortización según las distintas modalidades (progresión geométrica decreciente, números dígitos decrecientes, números dígitos crecientes, etc.). También se abordan modelos financieros de amortización de operaciones de leasing. Todos los temas se complementan con ejercicios prácticos secuenciados en orden de dificultad que tienen como finalidad la incorporación progresiva del lector al tratamiento del mundo de las finanzas a través de Excel.

bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.
