C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

The assignment are challenging and fun. They are the real drivers of the learning in the course. Had fun actually doing them.The final assignment should’ve been more derivative and less computational. It would really introduce us well to the financial side. Not a pessimistic critique, but new videos and re recording would improve the videos. Udemy provides similar stuff for literally 10$.

This course fulfilled my initial goal of preparing for my graduate studies in Computational Finance and my career search to become a Quant thereafter. I feel confident in my abilities to successfully code in C++ both in my courses as well as in future job interviews.

This course served its purpose pretty well-- it did enable people who has no experience with c++, like me, to gain a solid understanding of the most important basic concepts in c++.
I give it 4/5 because some questions in the homework are pretty old --some typos have not yet been corrected. However, I really appreciate how quickly A.Palley and Gong Chen replied to our questions--that helper A LOT. Also, many questions have already been asked by previous students, so that I could look at the answers instead of asking them again. Other than that, the quizzes are tricky, so they enhanced my understanding of the concepts a lot.
After taking this course, I'm confident enough to say I understand all C++ basic concepts well , can design a simple hierarchy of classes and am able to debug the code snippets by myself. I appreciate the value brought by this course.

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.

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.

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.

Overall it's a very nice experience to learn c++ on QuantNet. The TA's are always ready to help and the discussions are insightful. The course materials are informative and easy to understand.

the lecture video may switch to more recent windows version.

The course is very good and can meet my initial needs. But the content of the teacher's class is slightly faster, and sometimes it can't meet the requirements of novices. I hope the teacher can explain the relevant content a little more detailed

I think the homework helps a lot, and the tutor's comments are very detailed, but the content of the course materials is too concise. Although the course gives many reference books, it is not easy to extract effective information from these books. If you want to complete the work, you need to find a lot of information online. Anyway, I still learned a lot from this course.

The course generally is very good meets my expectation.

the course contents are very well designed to help introduce C++ to a beginner. 9 Levels of study material is carefully structured, which gradually shows the beauty of C++ and object oriented programming philosophy. The homework questions are very well written, which target the key knowledge points precisely and hence effective teach student 'by example'. The online quiz questions are well-thought too. TAs are easy to approach, respond to questions in a timely manner and are able to explain very clearly.

Vedios could be updated for new c++ features. Some useful feature like constexpr are not clearly teached

It is a wonderful course with clean structure and logic.

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.

Was looking for a career change. This gave me a glance on finance engineering field. Worth the time and effort.

The overall course is great. The design of the HWs is perfect.

It's pretty good

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.
