CSE: Areas of Specialization
Statement of D. Partida, Spring 2020:
Mmany concepts overlap between the courses "Mathematical Foundation for Finance" and "Financial Engineering". Personally, I would encourage the master students to take the second course, since there is an implementation project involved in the Financial Engineering course.
In the spring semester, I would strongly recommend taking the course "Quantitative Finance". This course gives a really good overview of what the industry is doing. Lastly, I have heard from peers that the course "Investments - Selected Quantitative Tools" is a good course that merges computational finance and machine learning techniques.
