C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

This course is well designed. The lecture videos clearly explain every concepts. The homework do a great job consolidating my knowledge.

The reason to take this course is required by my master's program admission. This course is great, and I especially enjoyed learning the key concepts of object-oriented programming.

I would say I had a great experience with the course. The concepts covered were fundamental to learning C++ and were explained well be Dr. Duffy in the lecture videos. The design of the HW exercises was what I liked the most. They were structured to build upon the new material that was taught throughout the course, which I really enjoyed. All of this culminated in Level 9, when I was given the opportunity to use all the knowledge gathered along the way to create my own classes. It definitely took time, but gave me the freedom to make my own design choices, which I think is a great way to learn to code in a real life scenario. Finally, the course forum and Avi were immensely helpful to me throughout the course, and were accessible promptly. All in all, I would say this course is a great introduction to C++ for someone who has a little bit of programming experience prior to taking the course.

I heard of this course from the forum of my college. I signed up for this course for a better understanding of c++ and it truly did give me better understanding. The video is a little confusing at the beginning, but it's no longer an issue when I get accustomed to Daniel Duffy's style of teaching. I have to say my TA, APalley, is one of the greatest TAs I've ever met. Great thanks.

Great course, but all contents are tough to understand

This course provided me with valuable lessons that I will forever remember. The TA and discussion forums supported me in this process. I enrolled in this course to learn C++ at an accelerated pace for work.

The course has greatly helped me develop C++ skills, which I'm sure will benefit my professional career. The combination of the enjoyable lectures by Prof. Duffy, the timely assistance received from the TAs, and the community in the forums provides the right environment to learn a complicated topic like C++ and its applications. The structure of the homework assignments, which strike the perfect balance between teaching new concepts and offering challenging problems, ensures that you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

I found the course by chance and decided to take it after researching the reviews. My biggest reason to join is to refresh my C++ knowledge and reinforce the areas that I was weak at (e.g., generic programming). What I like most about the course is how the exercises are structured. The exercises guided me to design something from scratch and add more features throughout several levels. This approach is much better than throwing many exercises that are not connected to each other at course participants.

Great experiences! Led to to the C++ world and built my skills for further possibility.

Overall a fast-paced and comprehensive introduction to C++ with strong emphasis on foundamental concepts of programming and code applications.

I work in the financial industry, and I know it's critical for me to build a solid foundation on programming knowledge and skills. Fortunately, this program offered me such opportunities.

I found the course very complete, the C++ programming concepts plus the exercises throughout the course gave me the security and confidence to understand them in a deep way and say that I know C++.
I found the course on quantnet and their testimonials convinced me, if someone wants to learn C++ in an accessible and correct way they should take the course

This course was very useful in getting a breadth of understanding of not only C++ syntax and code structure but also general design and programming principles. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to other MFE candidates in the future. I would also like to especially thank Dr. Duffy and Avi for the wonderful experience.

Liked level 9 part A. I took this course to help with my career switch from Software Engineering to Quant Developer/Research. I think this course is a good graduate course and on par with other graduate course I have taken as well. However, to truly understand this material I think the student needs to have some form of programming experience and maybe some knowledge of computer architecture to appreciate the content.

I learned the basic syntax of C++, OOP, and the implementation of C++pricing related to financial engineering in this course. I received a lot of help and guidance from the teaching assistant during the process, and gained a lot.

This course is really helpful, the lectures and the notes can make me understand C++ more. And with the help of TA, my questions can be replied in time. In a word, really amazing experience!

The general experience is awesome! greatly helped me learn basic C++ and it’s financial application

The C++ course is amazing! I really recommend anyone who needs a background of c++ to take the course.

I could tell why the course is famous and recommended by the renowned MFE programs. The homework questions are well-organized and extremely helpful in learning important C++ concepts. Although the homeworks were challenging for me, as a beginner in C++, I found the time investment worthwhile and I believe they will be valuable in pursuing my career in quant finance. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning C++.

I found this course while I was preparing the Baruch MFE application. At first, I just took it as a prerequisite course to help me get into the Baruch MFE. Although I didn't get accepted, I found this course really helpful in providing me with basic/important C++ knowledge as well as its application in Finance. I became more interested in Coding!!! I love it so much. I also want to give a big thank you to TA Avi as she gives detailed comments for every assignment.
