C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

It is definitely worth taking this online course. The content of this course is rigorously and carefully tailored, covering all the basic concepts regarding OOP together with meaningful hands-on applications, and is specifically targeted on financially engineering, which is different from other courses simply focused on C++ programming. Asides from the course content, the learning experience is also fulfilling. TAs are really helpful and always willing to help me and the forum for this course also makes it possible for me to discuss whatever I am curious about with the instructor, TAs and other students who are also taking the course.

This course absolutely meets my original goal. Before taking this course, I knew nothing about the object-oriented programming. Through this fulfilling experience taking this course, I have established deeper intuitions towards not only OOP but also financial engineering.

Great and challenging course!

This program has fessional and reasonable curriculum design. I think it did meet with my original goal.

I think it’s great but hope to get more applications in FE

The Course was an absolute beast from the get go. Prof. Daniel Duffy and the brilliant folks at Quantnet have constructed a brilliant course that starts from the very basic of C/C++ programming and continues to the application of C/C++ on Computational Finance. The TAs for the course, Avi Palley & Team were superb in guiding students throughout the course. The TAs and the forum will be your shining light as you try to traverse this maze called C++. I came into this course with absolutely no idea about C++ Programming. But now I am confident enough to start the Advanced course offered at Quantnet. This course and hopefully the completion of the Advanced course will aid in increasing my understanding of C++ Programming and it's applications to Computational Finance.

The course is well designed. The sample codes and instructions in homework help me to undertand the concepts step by step. Compare with the C++ courses from other platforms, this course is featured for the advanced concepts in Boost and financial applications, which are useful for MFE students.

The course is really helpful!

My original goal is to know more about C++ and it meets my goal. This course asks me to finish the programming from basic to more advanced version on my own.I benefited a lot through it. Besides, the forum is really helpful. It solved a lot of my questions. Thanks so much for this course and teaching assistants!

This is a very hard course. I need to treat it very seriously in order to get a good grade. I am very thankful for the availability of the forum, which is very helpful for understanding the course content and homework. It meets my original goal for taking this course.

This course is great. I want to further my study in financial engineering. This course meets my goal.

It is a wonderful course with clean structure and logic.

As someone who has taken C++ as well as a number of other programming courses in college, I have to say that this is by far the most comprehensive programming course I have taken. It touches all bases from theory to practical programming advice and financial applications. I also have to commend the TAs for being responsive and offering great feedback.

I really enjoyed the intensity/challenge in this course, and I think the HW is easy to follow and self-explanatory, even as someone who has minimal programming experience. I'm very impressed with the design of the course that I was able to learn more in a single month than in a 4-credit introductory programming class.

The quality is general good. The course contents are very well structured with practical applications. I have no problem writing C++ code for fundamental purpose now!

I think this is a wonderful course, and it provides me with many useful C++ skills. It certainly meets my goal.

The course is very good and helpful, and I really learnt a lot from it.

I have taken several programming courses before. Have to say this course is really of high quality. My previous programming courses helped me a lot during this course, so I think it might be a little challenging for a starter. But it is worth it since if you finish the course, it means that you have some solid experience on C++ Programming right now.

C++ Programming for Financial Engineering is of high quality and provides an enjoyable and encouraging learning experience. As an undergraduate who majors in actuarial science and plans to enter into the financial engineering field, I find this course perfectly meets my original goal to enhance my programming ability as well as cultivate my insight to think like a programmer. Thanks to the well-designed course videos&notes provided by Prof. Duffy and warm-hearted TAs like APalley and GONG CHEN who offered help throughout the course, I am familiar with programming design patterns like OOP and GP as well as the essential use of STL and Boost library now. Also, I get a bird-eye view of how to implement C++ into option pricing which is really beneficial for my future academic and professional career.

The course design is delicate and the contents are comprehensive. So finishing the course give me enough exposure to the understanding of C++ for quant applications. I think it should help my further development.

very good and enhance my understanding for quantative finance
