Introduction to Quantitative Finance I

Quantitative finance is a notoriously secretive industry. In this course we take a peek behind the curtains, using industry grade techniques, and real world data sets. Projects focus on applying knowledge learned in technical courses, and give students a chance to demonstrate their skills, and work on real projects that quantitative analysts have engaged in over the years. The course culminates in a final research project and presentation, under the guidance of both academic faculty and Wall Street professionals. No prerequisites are required, but APMA 1650 and CSCI 0200 (or equivalent) are highly recommended.
