Course "Introduction to Financial Engineering"

    At the online university, Hakeslet, after the first year, started a new one - Introduction to Financial Engineering.



    Finnish engineering is a comparatively new term, and is one of the possible translations of the English term “quantitative financial”. Indeed, “engineering” is the best word for the field of knowledge, which will affect the financial materials and programming.

    In this case, three closely related topics are covered:

    • The principles of the functioning of the financial markets are its participants, cooperation mechanisms, tools and technologies.
    • Financial mathematics - methods of using mathematics in financial calculations.
    • SOFTWARE - HOW TO WRITE A SOFTWARE, WHICH WILL BE ABLE TO WORK ON FINANCIAL MARKETS.

    Participants in the course will need the following software:

    • MATLAB  or free analogue  GNU Octave
    • Microsoft Excel is useful from the general storage, because This is the easiest and most understandable tool for working with data.
    • Visual Studio any version with F # support, or the same F # compiler separately. For a free version of Express, download  F # Tools for Visual Studio Express . If you are using Mac or Linux, you can also install F # and use, for example,  MonoDevelop  as an IDE.


    The main languages ​​on this coupe are MATLAB and F #, but you can use other packages (for example, MATHEMATIS or R) or programming languages ​​(C ++, I have lost knowledge of them). Kups contains input information on MATLAB and F # for tex, who is not familiar with these technologies.
