C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

I heard about the course from senior students. I took the course because as a non-computer science-specialty student, I lack training on C++ which is crucial to MFE application and my future career.
The course is really well designed, with abundant supporting materials. Once I had questions, I could search on the forum to learn from previous experience. I also got a lot of training from the homework which isn't easy to complete.

great in getting the bands on experience of exact method， MC and FDM

The course is certainly intense for someone with zero programming experience. The experience is overall pleasant. While I have procrastinated a lot during the process, the forums and TAs are really helpful.

I was admitted to a MFE program when I decided to buy this course. I saw this course on Quantnet website and want to improve my programming skills by this course.

I want to apply for a master in the US with this course as supplement.
My application advisor suggested me to take this course.

My friend told me that it is extremely useful

It's really a good course for whoever want to study C++! I knew this course from my friend and I really learnt a lot!

I enrolled in the course for two reasons:
1. Become a programmer: I had some coding experience with Python and VBA. However, I wanted to become a better programmer and not merely a coder. This course has certainly helped me become a better programmer. Not only can I write efficiently designed programs but also I have become comfortable at understanding and debugging code. The course definitely introduces best coding practice. Last but not the least, I had heard great things about the TA support and I have had the pleasure to experience it myself. Along with being prompt at answering questions on the forum, my TA (Avi Palley) provided detailed feedback on the homework and guided me all the way to implement best programming practices.

2. Meet the programming requirements for MFE programs: I believe that this course is designed to prepare the students to handle grad school level programming.

My mentor recommended this course to me saying that it would be beneficial to take since I want to become a quant in the future. It's great that it's a 16-week online course and I can study in my own pace and ask questions on the forum. The tutors and the professor are patient to answer my questions and they helped me solve my problems with guiding questions, instead of just giving out the answers. When I submitted my homework, I always received detailed feedback which is useful for my next step. I'm glad that I finish this course and enhance my C++/C programming skills, and had some experience with the Boost library, and tried some financial applications in Level 9.

I heard this course from a fellow student, who has taken Baruch MFE program and working in NY now. I take this course to learn how to use C++. My university doesn't provide a C++ course for me.

C++ is very useful and many people recommend this course to me.

My experience with the course is overall positive. I believe the curriculum and assignments are rigorous enough to ensure a good grasp of C++ and to encourage students to look beyond the lecture notes to understand various C++ concepts in depth. Daniel, Avi and WZhang have been very responsive to questions on the forum and our assignment submissions.

I loved the course, and the lectures were very informative. I learned a lot about the fundamentals of c++.

The reason I took the course was to develop a robust groundwork in c++ where I can grow and develop as a programmer. I wish to apply for financial engineering graduate programs, and felt this course could prepare me for that.

I found the course by the recommendation of Professor Dan in Baruch, and I'm taking this course for a better chance in MFE application. I felt quite satisfied with the course.

I enrolled this course in order to apply for MFE programs. During the course, the videos, forums, TA helped me a lot. I had to say that the experience is unique.And I received a lot!

It was an excellent experience, and I learned a lot from it! I heard about this course from former applicants. And I think holding C++ programming skills, especially in Financial Engineering, is necessary for my future path. I appreciate the experience in this course!

This course was hard-core but useful.
I found this course through online search, and I took it because I want to learn C++ and apply for Financial engineering master programs.

I am an undergraduate student who never codes in C++ before. It is a great course. Highly commend people who have a strong interest in programming but not start learning about C++. I took this course to get a better understanding of financial math and fulfill the requirement of applying for the MFE program. As the result, I learn a lot about inheritance and templates. Knowing how to use the standard template library and how to program with the boost library. It is a wonderful self-learning process and created a deep understanding of code.

The lectures and the homeworks are well-designed to get us learn about C++ coding. The professor is very knowledgeable and patient, and the TAs are very responsive to our questions.

This is a great course for me to learn C++ and how we can use programming for financial engineering field. Because I want to apply for a master program in financial engineering, and I was recommended to this course by some of the friends I have networked with to prepare myself better. Overall, this is a great experience and really learned a lot here!
