C# and Financial Modeling

Using C# for Numerical Analysis in Applied Finance

There are many different types of programming styles, such as algorithmic programming, functional programming, and object-oriented programming. And while each style is suited to a different programming language, C# is capable of all three of the above and more. C# was made to encompass the best of several standard programming languages and does an amazing job at it! Most people that code in C#, rarely switch languages, because it is such a versatile and beautiful tool that allows a programmer to connect in every way necessary. The teaching of the course includes all the steps needed to learn standard topics, as would be taught in a college classroom. The course solves standard problems in C#, with attention to general as well as language-specific issues including event-driven programming, inheritance and polymorphism, recursion, file I/O, exception handling, dynamic data structures, testing and debugging, multithreaded programming, and more. This will be a full course in C#, including design patterns.

The course begins with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of programming and builds from there, giving students many, many practice examples to code on their own and learn from for further enhancement and development. Successful students will be able to write correct and complete C# implementations of homework projects. Successful students will also complete exam questions that test use cases and will be able to write any program that is asked by employers when applying for internships or jobs. Good luck!
