C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

It is a wonderful course with clean structure and logic.

As someone who has taken C++ as well as a number of other programming courses in college, I have to say that this is by far the most comprehensive programming course I have taken. It touches all bases from theory to practical programming advice and financial applications. I also have to commend the TAs for being responsive and offering great feedback.

I really enjoyed the intensity/challenge in this course, and I think the HW is easy to follow and self-explanatory, even as someone who has minimal programming experience. I'm very impressed with the design of the course that I was able to learn more in a single month than in a 4-credit introductory programming class.

The quality is general good. The course contents are very well structured with practical applications. I have no problem writing C++ code for fundamental purpose now!

I think this is a wonderful course, and it provides me with many useful C++ skills. It certainly meets my goal.

The course is very good and helpful, and I really learnt a lot from it.

I have taken several programming courses before. Have to say this course is really of high quality. My previous programming courses helped me a lot during this course, so I think it might be a little challenging for a starter. But it is worth it since if you finish the course, it means that you have some solid experience on C++ Programming right now.

C++ Programming for Financial Engineering is of high quality and provides an enjoyable and encouraging learning experience. As an undergraduate who majors in actuarial science and plans to enter into the financial engineering field, I find this course perfectly meets my original goal to enhance my programming ability as well as cultivate my insight to think like a programmer. Thanks to the well-designed course videos&notes provided by Prof. Duffy and warm-hearted TAs like APalley and GONG CHEN who offered help throughout the course, I am familiar with programming design patterns like OOP and GP as well as the essential use of STL and Boost library now. Also, I get a bird-eye view of how to implement C++ into option pricing which is really beneficial for my future academic and professional career.

The course design is delicate and the contents are comprehensive. So finishing the course give me enough exposure to the understanding of C++ for quant applications. I think it should help my further development.

very good and enhance my understanding for quantative finance

The course is absolute wonderful in teaching basic C++ and it is really friendly for rookies. It definately meet my original goal and has given me much more confidence tackling quantitative problems by programming.

The course is fantastic for a C++ starter because it contains a lot of exercises and application cases in the quantitative finance. My original goal was achieved and I'm wondering if the topic related to quant finance might not be restricted to option pricing.

The course is awesome. Before the course, even though I had some programming experience, I have no systematic understanding of each components in a program. And this program really helps me understand programming deeper and show me many useful use cases.

The course was rigorous and well-instructed. I was able to improve my programming skills and gain some financial knowledge.

I think this course was well designed and captured a lot of the C++ I wanted to learn while simultaneously integrating financial systems.

I learned a lot from this course. It gave me a solid foundation in C++ Programming. From OOP to OBP and also generic programming. hope the certificate with distinction will help me to secure an MFE offer from my dream school!

Was looking for a career change. This gave me a glance on finance engineering field. Worth the time and effort.

Highly valuable for a beginner of C++ who wants to know more on the applications in quantitative finance.

The course is very comprehensive. It is beyond my expectation and I would certainly value this course over the others.

I was thingking that the ability of using c++ program was quite important for students who are facing the developing world. I know that Baruch has the best American MEF program. Therefore, I want to learn from this school's course. This course helped me have a better understanding of c++ and I really like it.
