    WELCOME to the course Financial Engineering 1!


    Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field involving financial theory, engineering methods, applied mathematics and the practice of programming.

    This course is designed for students who wish to obtain positions in banking, financial management and consulting industries, or to work as quantitative analysts in finance departments of general manufacturing and service firms. Students who simply want to practice their skills in mathematics and finance are also most welcome.

An optional assignment will be carried out using R, Python, or Julia and real market data.
