C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

My expectations were fully met. I entered into this class to fulfill the programming requirement of MFE applications and have been admitted to a top program due significantly (I think) to having this course and it’s reputation on my resume. This course has taught me how to think through coding problems logically and allowed me to broaden my skill set, both of which I appreciate wholeheartedly. The forums quantnet provided were extremely helpful and I learned a lot from my peers while working through the exercises.

the course was very complete. I did earn a good knowledge about C++ programming, and i undestood how C++ pricing methods are implemented.

This is high-quality course, I am planning to take the advanced one. This cource inspired me to try to enter MFE program. I really feel the overall improvement of my programming level and C++ in particular. Many thanks to TA Avi Palley for contribution and support.

The homework of the course is quite helpful. I have learnt more about C++ in the course.

First of all, I think it is very useful for me and meets my original goal. Every level of the course is designed with very clear purpose, so I think everyone can learn something from the course, particularly those without any foundation of programming.
Second, I think the forum helps a lot during the whole learning process. TA responds to my question very quickly, and that is of much importance.
Finally, I sincerely appreciate this course let me learn a lot about the Cpp! : )

It's my first time to take an online programming course. The learning experience is impressive with all of the materials, coding exercises, TA's insightful comments and fellow discussions on the forum. Actually, I know nothing about C++ before, but the design of the course enables me make progress step by step and now I am familiar with the idea of object-oriented programming. It is worthwhile to take this course for a C++ beginner.

Very efficient way to learn C++!

This course is pretty cool and gives me a good understanding of C++.

A nice course introducing C++ from scratch. At the end, I am able to develop and use some classic computational finance applications in C++.

The quality is great. It would be better if more instruction on the mathematical understanding of the application of C++ on computational finance is provided.

I would comment highly of this course because I really learn a lot from this course. I think it will help me a lot in the near future.

The course met my expectations and provided me with the C++ knowledge required to get into a prestigious MFE, which is my end goal. Additionally, I would like to thank Avi and Gong for their attention, help and patience throughout the course.

Basically I think it is good enough.

It is definitely worth taking this online course. The content of this course is rigorously and carefully tailored, covering all the basic concepts regarding OOP together with meaningful hands-on applications, and is specifically targeted on financially engineering, which is different from other courses simply focused on C++ programming. Asides from the course content, the learning experience is also fulfilling. TAs are really helpful and always willing to help me and the forum for this course also makes it possible for me to discuss whatever I am curious about with the instructor, TAs and other students who are also taking the course.

This course absolutely meets my original goal. Before taking this course, I knew nothing about the object-oriented programming. Through this fulfilling experience taking this course, I have established deeper intuitions towards not only OOP but also financial engineering.

Great and challenging course!

This program has fessional and reasonable curriculum design. I think it did meet with my original goal.

I think it’s great but hope to get more applications in FE

The Course was an absolute beast from the get go. Prof. Daniel Duffy and the brilliant folks at Quantnet have constructed a brilliant course that starts from the very basic of C/C++ programming and continues to the application of C/C++ on Computational Finance. The TAs for the course, Avi Palley & Team were superb in guiding students throughout the course. The TAs and the forum will be your shining light as you try to traverse this maze called C++. I came into this course with absolutely no idea about C++ Programming. But now I am confident enough to start the Advanced course offered at Quantnet. This course and hopefully the completion of the Advanced course will aid in increasing my understanding of C++ Programming and it's applications to Computational Finance.

The course is well designed. The sample codes and instructions in homework help me to undertand the concepts step by step. Compare with the C++ courses from other platforms, this course is featured for the advanced concepts in Boost and financial applications, which are useful for MFE students.

The course is really helpful!
