C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

The course is very suitable for students who have not coded in C before. And the forum is very helpful when I met some difficulties in doing homework. And TA responds really fast to my HW assignment. It certainly meets my expectations.

This is really an immersive course with lecture videos and forum discussion form former and current students. The exercise are well designed to help me understand the concepts and practice using them.

This is a fantastic program and teaches you important concepts in C++ and touches on very useful computational finance applications. (Black-Scholes, Monte-Carlo and Finite Differences Method) TA is super amazing and always get back to us on the same day. Aware this is an intensive program (While completely doable as I am new to C++ and was able to complete the full program) and will take some serious efforts each week. If you are serious about computational finance, this is a MUST. My next step is to solidify my learnings in this program and move onto Advanced C++ course which is offered by this amazing teaching team.

this is a great course and helped me a lot on c++ and got tasted on option price.

This course is really thorough to help me understand the key concepts of C++ in order to operate in the quant finance world. And the TA are really helpful as well in helping me understand different concepts and problems.

The course really helps me a lot and provides me with some necessary C++ skills which may be beneficial for my study.

Good course material and good TA

Yes, the course was structured really well. The TA's were prompt with their responses and explained doubts well. I found the forum a great place to ask questions and get doubts answered.

This course is well-organized and covers most important topics, I really learned a lot. My TA's feedback is immediate and concise, which makes the learning experience even better. The forum is also amazing, it has a bunch of discussion that could solve most problems I met with.

Finishing the course gives me a fundamental and thorough knowledge of C++ and I am glad that I put a lot of effort into it and make it to the end, since this is really rewarding.

Very good course as an introduction to C++ programming, especially for people with no prior programming experience. The lectures and notes are very helpful. The professor is very knowledgeable in this area and the TA is helpful. Definitely recommended for anybody who is interested in MFE and computational finance.

I was very interested in programming, especially in c++. And a summer camp trip to Baruch MFE also intrigued me. This course, with detailed introduction and well design structure, provides me what I expected, and I am grateful to the lecturer and TAs for the knowledge.

This course contains many topics about basic C++ language, C++ boost and C++ applications in financial engineering, which is really useful and rich in content for a starter in financial engineering. The materials were detailed and accurate, with professor's clear explanation. As I went through the materials, the quizes and homework could remind me to pay attention to details that I could ignore. Also the forum provided great help. Searching for other's questions and TA's answer helped me solved a lot of problems. Thanks to TA's answer to my personal questions and other students' questions, I could correct my bugs in HW!
Acquiring C++ language is helpful for my future study in financial engineering program. It meets my goal for taking this course.

This course provides me with hands-on experience of programming with C++.

I think this course is pretty good and gives me a lot of help in learning c++. Also, I am grateful for the help of APalley and other students.

This course is great!

The course perfectly meets my need for C++. Through this course, I learned so many basic and advanced methods of C and C++, which will be helpful for both my future study and work. The quality of the course is good, it is well-structured for beginners. Also, the video and slides are abundant enough to grasp the knowledge and TA is very helpful.

The course quality is very high in my opinion. I have learned a Python course before, but I only learned some syntax in it. However, this course not only give me the syntax knowleage, but also many programming ideas and Quantitative Finance knowleage that can be used in other language as well.

My expectations were fully met. I entered into this class to fulfill the programming requirement of MFE applications and have been admitted to a top program due significantly (I think) to having this course and it’s reputation on my resume. This course has taught me how to think through coding problems logically and allowed me to broaden my skill set, both of which I appreciate wholeheartedly. The forums quantnet provided were extremely helpful and I learned a lot from my peers while working through the exercises.

the course was very complete. I did earn a good knowledge about C++ programming, and i undestood how C++ pricing methods are implemented.

This is high-quality course, I am planning to take the advanced one. This cource inspired me to try to enter MFE program. I really feel the overall improvement of my programming level and C++ in particular. Many thanks to TA Avi Palley for contribution and support.
