Personal Finance probably includes compound interest, loans, mortgages, etc. This is something you could really use someday.
Functions and Applications of Math sounds like more of a pre-calculus course, good preparation for calculus. The applications are probably more geared towards the sciences.

Look at the course descriptions in the college catalog. “Functions and Applications” is a very general term. I don’t think you’ll get as meaningful an answer here as you’ll get from the course descriptions, since we’d have to guess what’s included.
Math of Pers. Fin. is likely to include theory of interest, loan and mortgage amortizations, calculating investment returns, and maybe some risk analysis of investments. Again, the specific course description will be more accurate.
If you can’t understand the descriptions, or still have questions, you should post another question with the specific wording describing the courses.
“Can colleges take both courses as of a grade 11 college math course?” Huh???
