Hi, everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am interested in the online C++ programing provided by Baruch, but I don't know if there is any prerequisites for it, like math courses, programming skill, since the program syllabus mentioned Monte Carle simulator, finite difference methods and so on.

I don't think there are any specific requirements for this course. In the first 8 levels the math doesn't go beyond high school math. As for computer programming, if you have some experience it will make the course a lot easier but it is possible to succeed without any prior experience.

In the final assignment level you are given an introduction to the applications of C++ in financial engineering - when I took this course I had no knowledge of mathematical/computational finance but with the information in the lectures/notes/some additional research I managed to do well in this level, so my personal experience is that you do not need to know stuff like Monte Carlo!!

Thank you for these useful information.
I had C/C+ several years ago, mostly I works with Matllab. People graduated from MFE told me matlab is not enough as a quant.
Monte Carlo stimulation applied in finance engineering (in math course) was on my 'going to take' course list, but unfortunately, my college cancelled the course this semester. That is the reason I am a little nervous about math prerequisites.
