ODE/PDE is a good preparation in econometrics etc. https://www.datasim.nl/onlinecourses/97/distance-learning-ordinary-and-partial-differential-equations And programming (C++, Python) these days.

Both QN C++ courses have modules on Monte Carlo and PDE. There is no other C++ course like it.

In general, learning as much maths as possible is useful. My ODE/PDE online course is relevant to MFE. C++ and Python are also good.

Can you program? C++, Python. How's your applied/numerics maths? Measure Theory is hardly used; almost no one understands it.

Level9 is to get you acquainted with Monte Carlo and PDE. The full story is here. https://www.wiley.com/en-gb/Numerical+Methods+in+Computational+Finance%3A+A+Partial+Differential+Equation+%28PDE+FDM%29+Approach-p-9781119719670

Cash. You're winding us up o_O

In module 10 we have stuff on PDE/FDM that you might like as well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Numerical-Methods-Computational-Finance-Differential/dp/1119719674/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781119719670&qid=1634724362&sr=8-1 @DesirKoffi @Paul Lopez

I asked a prof about one and he said it was more for maths teachers (high school level) than hard mathematicians. Your prof is not even wrong. Scary.

I see. Some numerical linear algebra and optimisation preparation is very useful.

Indeed. On the other hand, the added value of QN is 1. quickly help you with conceptual issues. 2. Compiler errors resolution ASAP. And you make the magic between 1 and 2.

I just see what ChatGPT comes up with, use that answer, and spend 1 hour making sure that I understand its solution and that I can replicate it on my own in the future? It is one way,but ChatGPT has done the hard thinking for you. What happens when ChatGPT cannot answer and you haven't built...

And why would you use ChatGPT? It is a poor substitute for your brain.

9N I would say 1. does lib file exist? 2. is it compatible with project (x86, x64 stuff) 3. is it in your project properties? my file a while back was quantlib-vc140-mt-gd.lib ? Are you missing a version number? Build again for vc142, whatever. It's not rocket science at this stage.

"By pulling the code from Git (at a stable versión of course) you can take advantage from the cmake files and using the CMAKE plugin of vscode you can compile and debug in a matter of minutes."

OK. But the installation works if the bespoke steps are followed exactly?? A golden rule is this kind of stuff should be easy.

An unordered_map is a data structure that stores data in the form of key-value pairs. The best case and the average case complexity for all the operations in an unordered_map is O(1). While in the worst case, the time complexity for all the operations in an unordered_map is O(n).

I wasn't fishing for compliments, but stating what my experience was, for good or bad. I have been told that QN C++ is miles ahead of any CS course. So, maths + physics + C++ and good to go.

Most math and physics programs, especially as a double major, don’t have the time for Student’s to take foundational programming classes That's the fault of your university, not of physics. They don't take the time and/or they are not interested. Same old story of the last 60 years. Believe me...

Depends on the context. PDE,SDE models are all based on physics + intuition. just think Fokker-Planck. Markov chains etc. For me, CS education on its own is a bit soft IMO. It doesn't teach maths or domain stuff. I learned it on the job.

You can learn CS on the job. And it's relatively easy. Physics is of fundamental importance.

In my experience 90% of OOP in Python is a load of (unmaintainable) junk. I can give at least 10 reasons. On the other hand, Python OOP is a nice medium when you want to learn how design patterns work. Having done that, you can port/rewrite the patterns in C++.

Of course, Python doesn't engender good programming practices. Eventually, it becomes unmaintainable which may or may not be serious. But for POC and throwaway prototypes it is a good scripting language.
