C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

1) good and organized contents
2) prompt response from TA

I’m a finance major with a math minor, and the goal of taking this course is to apply for financial engineering programs. I made it this summer so I think the course is pretty helpful.

I come from a software development background, but have been out of touch with hard-core development for nearly 5 years now. I wish to get back to development especially Quant Dev. As such the C++ programming for FE has been a very good course for me to refresh my C++ fundamentals and has helped me to build a very strong base for learning the more advanced concepts of Modern C++. The accompanying exercises are the most valuable parts of the course as without proper hands-on pratice exercises, understanding the concepts would have been very difficult. The forums for each exercise were very helpful and insightful. The TA support was impressive as well.

This course indeed gives me a detailed overview of the essentials of C++ and give me an introduction of how C ++ can be applied to quantitative finance. Really a good course.

Great course, met my learning goals.

The course is a really good intro course which gave me a structured learning experience about C++ programming.

It is a very good experience! The only thing that I think can improve is the media player software, it would be better if we can adjust the speed when we watch the course video.

I think this course offer me a great chance to learn more about C++ as well as its application in the field of financial engineering. I've learned a lot.

This course gives me the fundamental concept of c++ which helps me understand the use of c++ for computational financial application. The quality of the materials and course is well written and easy to understand for c++ beginner.

The course is excellent as a whole, especially Level 9, which is rather difficult but extremely useful I guess. It involves multiple financial applications. I think the course well meets my original goal (learning polymorphism, template, STL, Boost, etc.)

It does meet my original goal for taking this cpp course.

The course is great. I learnt a lot about C++11 and improved my programming ability.

The quality is high and it meets my original goal to understand basic knowledge about C++

The high quality of this course is very impressive. The syllabus is very inclusive and the homework is challenging( including lots of programming practice), which is great and helpful. What's more, TA is very responsive. Feedbacks from TA and forum are very helpful during this learning journey. To conclude, I really learned a lot about C++ programming and enjoyed this experience.

Generaly the content of this course is perfect, especially for OOP beginners. I have learned Python, Matlab, R and have been working with them for a while, but this course still gives me a lot of insights about OOP, GP and good coding habits. I am gonna pursue a career on buyside where a solid understanding of basic knowledge of C++ will help me very much. So it happened to be a great experience to study with fellows on the perfect course forum.

This course has covered the whole spectrum of Object Oriented Programming, as well as combined with entry-level financial engineering knowledge near the end. It is self-paced and versatile. The workload is just right, and you should be able to know most of the concepts in OOP. Great course!

C++ for Financial Engineering is an excellent introductory course for anyone who is new to programming and wants to launch their quant career fast. It teaches me the very knowledge of C++ that is used in the field of Quantitative Finance today. The TA and forum has always been helpful, friendly and quick-to-respond. I would recommend it strongly for people like me that have little experience in programming.

I’m a beginner in C++ programming. This course guides me through C++ learning process from the theoretical concept to quantitative application. I benefited a lot from the solid knowledge and skills professor Dunffy and TA taught me.

It's an advanced course for students who have no idea of Financial Engineering. It is great and powerful. I only have some knowledge of basic C language at the beginning. TA is patient and students there are inspiring. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends.

The course is great! It completely meets my original goal!
