As a result of this course students should have fully implemented matrix class with basic methods: adding matrices, multiplying them, etc. If someone doesn't take this refresher course - there should be a requirement to come with this implementations ready to use. As a result, from that point students can start working on numerical methods. In addition to that it will be nice to work on creating basic objects for most general financial instruments: bonds, options, swaps etc., and may be some auxiliary classes: for example day class with day-count conventions.  Only a framework of all this objects will be created - no pricing or building yield curve. It will be a very good exercise in C++, and extremely helpful preparation for other courses.</blockquote>
