Case Studies : Developing Financial Mathematics’ Systems

In this research, we introduce four case studies corresponding to the development of four Financial Mathematics' Systems using Object-oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). These systems were developed by undergraduate accounting students at Santa María University in Barinas, Venezuela. While Microsoft Excel is not an Object-oriented Programming (OOP) language, it was used by the students to develop these systems. In fact, Microsoft Excel is widely applicable in the accounting community. Consequently, an exploratory multiple case design was utilized and a comparison analysis was performed; a methodology for creating case studies was developed and implemented, and finally, a conclusion and recommendations were provided
