  "I just wanted to thank you directly for sharing your knowledge with us and for putting so much energy into last week's course. Like I wrote in the feedback form: This week really was the highlight of my year! Your lectures have answered several questions that I have been carrying around with me for a long time. And I will try to implement some of the techniques that you taught at Commerzbank's loan portfolio." - Ulf Klinker

"This has been a very nice course. I am amazed of Mr. Meucci. No matter what question he always has an answer, mathematical proof or the like ready. All in all, this amounts to being the best course I have ever followed." - Peter Ahlgren

"It is a great course. I learned a lot and will work out the exercises to absorb more. Everything is perfect. The charity part is also impressive. Thanks for doing this. It is a great service to the community!!! Let me know for future course and/or anything I can do/support in return." - Alex Pang

"I wanted to first thank you for the great course! It was very well organized and the book is really, really great. I am impressed with the fact that as questions popped up while reading, the answers always followed. Very nice!" - Alexander Mitov

"Let me thank you for the wonderful bootcamp! You did a great job! I think you are really a +4 sigma event when it comes to teaching very complex mathematical subjects. ;-)My head is spinning now, given all the ideas I would like to try and implement. (Hopefully, the "real world" will grant me the time to do so...)" - Arno Hartmann

"I wanted to thank you for this course. It was extremely useful. The material was presented in a highly intuitive way, and it has helped me to study your text, which I had been looking to do for a while." - Brandon Macaluso

"Let me tell you that I appreciated your course a lot. I'm in particular impressed by the breadth of your book and the clarity of your exposition. Sometimes I wished there would be more people in risk management/quantitative finance/economics who are as sincere as you and who take a truly scientific and rigorous approach. Finance would definitely be better and more fun to work in." - Daniel Straumann

"Away from the feedback form, I just wanted to personally say Thank You for a great course - I know this is going to be very useful, and I definitely appreciate all the preparation you put into your lectures. I will eagerly recommend this to anyone. " - David Snyder

"This was the best course I've ever had. It changed my way of thinking about portfolio management and it made me realize I want to focus my career on that from now on. Attilio is an excellent instructor and developed an extremely sound framework. Congratulations to Bloomberg and Baruch College for bringing such a talent in a very well organized structure. " - Leandro Vieira

"The name "bootcamp" has been justified. Excellent workshop, with all the coffee and courseload; the course was well-structured and well-organized; the most valuable aspect for me was the visual representation (I really missed those location-dispersion ellipsoid explanations when I learned about PCA before...). Slides and Matlab routines were very useful. " - Vladimir Toshchevikov

"I thought the course was great. I will definitely encourage my colleagues to attend if you repeat the bootcamp again. Thank you so much for organizing this bootcamp. " - Ryan Krook

"The syllabus was nicely modularized and the presentation coherent. I really enjoyed the big-picture review/summary at the beginning/end of each session. Attilio managed to break down a rather dense subject matter into a manageable and applicable framework. Truly appreciate Attilio's time in sharing his knowledge, and special thanks to Baruch's student/staff for their time guarding the entrances (to ensure we have no problem accessing the building), and highly responsive administrative support. " - Chris Chen

"Excellent instructor, excellent support staff, and an excellent seminar! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and I look forward to seeing you in another great seminar. " - Anthony Deiko

"This course was extremely well done in any respect. I find it truly great that Attilio offers so much material, in particular also Matlab code, for free on his web site. In the finance industry this is rare indeed. I would also like to mention the effort done by the lecturer as to teach 6 hours a day for 6 days in a row. Thanks a lot! " - Urs Haberthuer

"Overall, a fantastic and highly useful seminar. " - Michael Leister

"Exceptional course, regarding both form & content. Chapeau ! " - Winfried Hallerbach
