My first year as a Master student in mathematics is soon coming to an end and its time to choose courses for next semester. I would appreciate if anyone could recommend which courses that is most relevant and useful if I want to pursue an career in finance in the future.

My background is BSc. Industrial Engineering and BSc. Financial Economics. So far I have taken the following math courses:
Calculus and Multivariate Calculus
Linear Algebra
Differential Equations
Mathematical Statistics
Introduction to Financial Mathematics
Fourier Analysis
Stochastic Calculus
Probability Theory
Statistical Inference
Partial Differential Equations
Ordinary Differential Equations
Nonlinear Optimization
Options and Mathematics
Financial Time Series
The courses I have narrowed my choices to are:
Stochastic Optimization Algorithms
Stochastic Data Processing and Simulation
Artificial Neural Networks
Computer Intensive Statistical Methods
Numerical Linear Algebra
Functional Analysis
Integration Theory
All help and suggestions are very much appreciated!
