C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

This programming course has been the best I’ve ever taken. The class forum is well-established, and the instructors’ responses are both timely and patient, which is a refreshing change amid the current scarcity of educational resources. The materials, exercises, and exams are meticulously designed, making learning systematic and practical. It's also a pleasure to meet and discuss with so many outstanding classmates and fellows here.

I’m determined to keep enhancing my C++ skills, and I’m hopeful that this experience will open doors for my future career, not only in C++ but beyond. Also, I’m eager for the opportunity to contribute to this course in the future.

A friend recommend this course for me and I found the course is relevant to the financial engineering field, so I take it. In this course, the instructor talks about the functions and syntax of C++ very well, especially those diagrams which are helpful for me to understand the idea. I really recommend this course for those who want to learn C++ to fulfill the prerequisite course of MFE program.

Actually, I really think that the curriculum design is extremely good in the course, and the TAs helped me a lot during my studies. The video gives us deeper insight into every aspect of C++ programming. The homework provides an opportunity to better understand the knowledge. The forum serves as an important platform in efficiently figuring out the confusing part of our homework. I think everything's fine.
If we really talk about the place to improve, actually, I hope to get more mathematical knowledge background in Level 9, which can help the students understand more about the C++ application.
Finally, I really thank you for the opportunity to take the C++ course, and I really thank my TA, APalley, who is really patient and helpful.
Thanks very much~

I initially looked for a course that would cover C++ and naturally gravitated towards the freely available online courses, but found that they did not cover the depth required to build financial systems at scale. Coming across Quantnet's programs allowed me to fully realize my desire to pursue financial mathematics and related fields through the coursework. I was able to apply myself fully to learn first-hand, design principles and efficient ways to code complex financial applications in level 9. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone moving into a similar field. The TAs and forum has been great! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

This course saves me a ton of time studying C++. All the concepts are well-explained, and some myths of the previous level will be clear in the next level. The course's HW is awesome and I believe it follows the spaced repetition method. Doing HW not only makes you understand new concepts but also helps you remember concepts from the previous levels. TAs are so constructive in giving you feedback.

I initially took this course with the goal of systematically learning C++, and this course has provided me with a very solid foundation of C++ knowledge. Although I have been using Python for a long time, this course has still benefited me greatly, as I have developed skills in both C++ and Python programming. First, it has taught me about pointers and memory management, filling in the gaps in my previous knowledge. Additionally, my programming has become more standardized, especially in terms of how to structure classes.

This is one of the best courses I’ve ever taken. Although I’m already a college student, truth be told, this is the first computer course I’ve taken seriously. In the past, computer classes during my primary and secondary school years were mostly used for playing games or writing assignments, which is something I somewhat regret. However, fortunately, this course wasn’t as difficult as I imagined. On the one hand, I’m a mathematics major, so I’m completely competent in mathematical foundations and logical thinking. On the other hand, and more importantly, the clear presentation of the course, assignments, and the assistance from the teaching assistant, including my questions on the course forum and those of other classmates, all contributed to my successful completion of it. It can be said that over these few months, I’ve made the transition from just getting started with coding to becoming proficient in C++ and implementing its applications.
There’s also a somewhat interesting story. During the May Day holiday, I participated in a mathematical modeling competition in our country. As the programmer in our group, I smoothly completed the code writing even without any obstacles, and at that time, I had just learned about the Monte Carlo algorithm, which happened to be the key to the competition question!
In conclusion, this course has brought me great rewards, and once again, I want to express my gratitude to the teachers and classmates who helped me complete the course!
