I am pretty sure there are overlaps. I reckon my courses are more detailed and industry-focused. I'v been around longer. 😁

Maybe Applied Numerics instead of Number Theory, the latter being a bit too far from quant work. my 2 cents.

📢 Fast matrix computation is not rocket science any more. What's the meat?

Hard to say; how much real OOP in the course? It looks very STL focused. But I can only see "bullet" sections.. "the" means QN Adv C++ course?

What's your current C++ level?

One issue worth noting is that there are two main strands associated with matrices 1. Pure maths linear analysis/algebra ... paper models. Kind of academic-only focus. 2. Numerical linear algebra .. algorithms and getting stuff into the computer. And knowing what, why and how. numpy/scipy...

That syllabus could be more ambitious. imho No one really does determinants any more .. the advent of the digital computer put them out of business.

Not sure about VBA, it is easy to learn after C++/Python. Check if it is really used. Some MFEs need ODE/PDE.

This ODE/PDE course is on the UCB recommendation list https://www.datasim.nl/onlinecourses/97/distance-learning-ordinary-and-partial-differential-equations

Random thoughts 1. Is prompt engineering clutching at straws? A cop-out for robust requirements analysis? 2. NLP is fraught with pot-holes. It won't work in general. Wittgenstein would have a lot to say. 3.Will ChatGPT ever be a requirements analyst? Probably not, because it is a name dropper...

Crepi il lupo! @cooper

Ideally, do ODE and PDE https://www.datasim.nl/onlinecourses/97/distance-learning-ordinary-and-partial-differential-equations

One of the authors is Igor Halperin, a famous quant.

In the pantheon of digital technologies that have reshaped human behavior, artificial intelligence stands out as perhaps the most insidious threat to our cognitive independence. This essay examines how AI functions as a digital drug, creating dependencies that systematically erode fundamental...
