Session 1: Corporate Finance: What is it?

Introduction to Corporate Finance

[@KIKEROMA1997]

You are a hero for making this knowledge available for all those who don´t have the money to go to Stern, thank you very much, professor.

[@AlexVoxel]

A legend making a high quality free course for everyone, such an example of a good teacher!

[@John-thinks]

In shock that the world's leading expert on corporate finance talking through a 36 session class on it is just totally free online.

[@ztag1000]

I was about to spend a lot of money on a course but i found your channel and have been delighted. Thanks for being an amazing teacher and providing such high quality material for free!!

[@diveshchaudhary7266]

Man I hit the gold mine. Absolutely blown away by the precision and delivery. Thank you professor.

[@itsrohit01]

The pleasure of skipping my entire corporate finance course from the MBA and taking this instead. Thank you :)

[@the69prophet47]

I can’t thank you enough! I cannot afford a degree from Ivy league colleges and in constant search of knowledge of finance. With your help, I hope I switch my career from accounting to finance

[@shraddhasingh9993]

This is hidden gold that I am fortunate enough to stumble on.

[@DeclanCC]

As soon as he stated the view on Accounting goodwill... sold. I will watch this till the end.

[@AswathDamodaranonValuation]

The only way to find out is to get started and if you get stuck on the difference between operating income and net income, revisit your accounting books.

[@rinorm2419]

+Aswath Damodaran hey Damodaran , a former Hedge Fund Manager redirected me to your lessons,you make things simple and enjoyable even for a med student

[@yashsangani]

thank you so much for this sir

[@Value_Pilgrim]

Thanks Damodaran Sir, these lectures are useful and will make a difference for me. 🙏

[@samimasannat]

Thank you Professor Damodaran for dedicating so much time and effort to advance the knowledge in Corporate Finance. I started watching your videos and so keen to complete them asap.

[@akyuvar8121]

After 5 minutes I do understand this course is unusual and deserves a very big thumbs up.

[@jaimerosado4973]

Excellent class, I've spent hours searching for the right instructor and finally found someone that can clearly explain the concepts of Corporate Finance and relate to the real world. Finally have a good understanding of this subject. Can't thank you enough.

[@prempehama]

Thank you Aswath, for the valuable videos!! I'm now getting into Corporate Finance and already loving how you break it down!! I will continue to watch the rest of the videos.

[@vinodtwenty]

This is not about which subject, it is about who is giving you the subject or knowledge, Great learning experience,

[@Neetish21]

Doesn't get any better, thank you professor for bringing this to us

[@AnaVitoriaRodriguesLima]

Thank you so much professor! I'm enjoying very much your lessons, because with your youtube channel I still have a chance to study and push myself. Unluckily, I couldnt attend NYU, in spite of an offer and a partial scholarship, because it was too expensive; but your lessons give me hope and I think that, "economically speaking", i should not think about "sunk costs" and still try to get the best of everything - not in a NYU campus unfortunately, but the important thing is learning, no matter where or how. It would seem hard to accept that lol but your videos are a big motivation to keep me learning even tho at home :))) so, Thanks and congratulations for your KZbin channel, I hope it won't stop growing in the future!:))) Best regards Vitoria

[@joaovictorbarbosa9785]

Hey Vitoria! how are you? let me ask you, are you from Brazil? I really identified myself with your comment, I didn't have the chance to go to a grea school like NYU, but I believe that we still can learn a lot from internet :)

[@MA-nm3rk]

I hope you continue to provide us with more and more topics because i have been studying corporate finance for 15 weeks and just understand it now after this video thank you, sir.

[@alinesetti]

Thank you, professor! you are so objective and precise in your explanation. I didn't need to advance the video by 1.5x! Thank you, I will watch the rest of the classes until I reach 2020!

[@charulsingh4718]

this is so informative and great , clear and concise explanation.

[@christian_swjy]

Wow, Professor Damodaran, your explanation is very concise and really does make a seemingly complex topic into a simple one.

[@asankasenevirathne1062]

Highly appreciate the way you clarify the intricacies of the subject matters in a very simple manner. Thank You Sir.

[@badbull75]

This is my first video of your lessons and already I am very informed and excited to go further. God bless you sir.

[@dannyvo9895]

Hi Prof Damodaran, I am very happy to see your lectures online. This is a bit funny, since you are my Corp Fin Guru and now I am teaching an online Corp Finance course (MBA Level) for SNHU in NH. Well, I still use Corp Fin 2e as a primary ref. I find the examples still relevant and very valuable. Thanks, Tony

[@leeyounghee9786]

[@minhhoang3004]

Thanks for providing this class for free, professor!

[@hmmm5082]

Well done Sir. Informative, educational, inspiring and surprisingly fun...wish some of the uni teachers/lecturers back in my long gone days at LSE all those many years ago were as upbeat!

[@MA-nm3rk]

Moreover, I have an upcoming exam in 2 weeks and I think your videos will clear the air for me in a lot of vague stuff.
