C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

It's been an intense but meaningful 16 -week learning process. The course starts from the basic knowledge for syntax in C/C++ and OOP, which is not that hard for me. And the contents gradually grow difficult. It's a great experience to build those points, lines, circle classes and the level 9 is quite challenging, where I spent a lot of time to figure things out. But the course as a whole is really something useful and it meets my goal of learning C++ and deal with real finance stuff.

It's pretty good

The course is really challenging but also really useful.

This course is well-designed and I fully enjoy it. It meets my goal of learning about C++ and its applications on quantitative finance.

This course has really rich content and has touched a lot of useful areas of C++ such as object-oriented programming, generic programming, and the use of the Boost library. Combining with many exercises, students are trained to become well acquainted with C++ programming.

This is a great course, it meets my original goal.

The C++ is very helpful. Actually it is a little harder than I thought since I am a beginner. But the course is arranged well so you can catch up with every topic and get a better understanding of c++.

The material is very useful. However, as a C++ course designing for poeple with no CS background, I think the course overall is pretty hard, but still manageable, especially with all the forums where you can find people asking exactly same question that you are comfused. Moreover, C++ itself is a harder programming language compared to Python or MATLAB.
Overall, I think this course is a must for people who want to study MFE in grad schools, and that is also why I rated it as a 5/5.

The overall quality is good, and it indeed covers most of the basic contents in C++

The quality of this course is good enough for completely rookies in the coding world. But I do want to emphasize the homework should be more friendly for readers. Sometimes, I just don't know what should I do for some exercises, especially when I was struggling for group exercises in level 9.

It gave me all the knowledge about C++. I think it's pretty helpful.

I've always been interested in how mathematics can be applied to finance. That is the reason I chose this subject ——Financial Mathematics——in my university. I have learned some many pricing models in my university's course. But my leader of internship said "you need to learn C++ or JAVA, because nobody will calculate it by pencil and paper". Now I can show it by programming. That is really interesting. I am so excited that I have gotten my original goal!

This course has been really helpful in terms of reviewing the basic C++ concepts and provides really good examples for implementations. Level 9 material broadened my knowledge on option pricing. I really enjoyed every minute of it.

The course is worth learning. It teaches a lot.

This course definitely helps a lot for financial-engineering-focusing students/employees. Plus the forum discussion is great.

Yes, the design is perfect and it is a great approach for me to learn basic C++ skills.

My original goal for this course is to learn C++ for career advance. I studied C++ long time ago, and forgot all of them. This is a perfect course for me to
i) recall what I've learned before.
ii) correct what I've misunderstood before.
iii) use Visual Studio extensively for the first time.
iv) learn to write better comments.
v) for sure, learn to write better quality C++ code.
vi) structure the project better, organize the header/source files better.
vii) learn all essential knowledge from oop to gp and stl, boost.
The quality of this course is amazing. The course material is very excellent. It covers all the essential knowledge. The homework is key to this course. Through these exercises, I learned how to debug, how to ""get it work, get it right, get it optimized"". The forum is really helpful, many people discuss the topics, specific problems, common issues, homeworks. I learned a lot from these resources.

This course really teach me a lot. I would like to take part in programming long before and this course give me a push to finish my decision. This course give students knowledge about C++ from the beginning to the mostly advanced method such as MC and FDM, it is really a great course for beginner to take in.

This course offer a comprehensive introduction of C++ for financial engineering, and I have learned a lot of practical materials which cannot be learned from the onsite classes. So I really recommend it to all students who want to take an occupation in FE.

The course really help me a lot with c++ and the TA is really helpful as well.
