C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

Excellent course!! I learned a lot and have a great experience. I will definitely recommend it as first step to learn programming skills.

it is the prerequisite course of Baruch MFE program

The course is well-designed to cover a lot of useful C++ topics. Friendly to students without coding background but interested in pursing a MFE program. Discussion forums and TAs are very helpful.

I have learned a lot of useful knowledge in this course. Attending this course can improve my programming ability, and the course certificate can prove my programming ability.

Very good and being from a non programming background....I think helped get a strong grasp in fundamentals.

I'm looking for a chance to enter the finance industry, so it would be helpful for me to learn more about c++, a robust programming language used in finance. Baruch college is also very prestigious in the quant field.

The course covers a wide range of topics in C++ and I benefit a lot from the course. I know the course from my friend, and as I plan to apply for an MFE degree, I want to enhance my C++ coding as it is essential in my future work.

great help on cpp, really went over all the essential part of the language.
I appreciate the hw, its design really helped me practice the necessary knowledge of the course.

I took the course because I want to sharpen my skills in programming and pursue a career in quantitative finance. After consulting, lots of my friends and alumni recommended this course to me, so I decided to give it a try. And I found this course great since Dr. Duffy's videos are clear and easy to follow, which quickly helped me grasp a holistic view of C++. My TA, Avi Palley is professional and responsible throughout the course. Thanks to both of them!

This is a great course. I learned for the first time about OOP, memory management, libraries, and financial applications, and I feel comfortable talking about these more advanced concepts as well as implementing them. Since starting the class, I've even started using OOP at work for some data analysis projects.

Avi was a fantastic TA. He provided quick grading and helpful responses.

I learned a lot from this course and look forward to continuing to learn C++.

This course is well-famed and everybody more or less knows it. I decided to take it because I wanted to learn C++. I didn't expect it to be so comprehensive and illuminating!

This course has enhanced my understanding of the programming languages, which is really helpful. I learnt about this course from Baruch College's website.

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.
