I am currently in my first year of university as a math major. I want to get into the quant space, I am more interested in the quant research side, developing asset pricing models et cetera. What courses should I take that are good for quant? I am nearing the end of my second semester and have done equivelents of calc 1 and calc 2, intro to stats and first year economics and finance courses. Within the next two semesters I plan on taking real analysis, multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability and inference, fundementals of quantitative finance, modelling and visualisation in R and financial data analysis. However, for third year I am unsure what courses to be doing, PDE's and numerical methods I will do, and probably functional analysis too. However, there is no courses in stochastc calculus, just stochastic processes.
Are there any more courses I should be taking that are relevant to quant?
Secondly, can you get quantitative research positions with just a bachelors degree+honours? Also what programming languages should I be learning for quant, and how can I learn them. I do not really have any experience programming and I regret not taking a computer programming course this year, how can I learn?
