On May 22, 2025, students of the Department of Mathematics had the invaluable opportunity to visit the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) as part of a field trip organized under the course modules AMAT 31303 – Mathematics for Finance I and AMAT 41403 – Financial Mathematics.
This educational visit brought together Level 3 students enrolled in the module along with Level 4 honours degree students, providing a unique platform to bridge theoretical finance concepts with real-world applications.
During the visit, participants attended an insightful session introducing the operations of the CSE, stock market fundamentals, and trading mechanisms. The experience offered students a practical perspective on how mathematical concepts are utilized in financial markets.
The event was not only informative but also highly engaging, sparking great interest among the students. It was a remarkable learning experience and a successful initiative that strengthened the connection between academic knowledge and industry practices.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported and contributed to organizing this enriching visit and to the Colombo Stock Exchange for hosting and inspiring the next generation of finance professionals!
