Refresher Courses for the MFE Fall 2007 Cohort


The mathematics department has been offering refresher courses in C++, Advanced Calculus, Probability, and Linear Algebra to students admitted into the Financial Engineering MS Program since Summer 2004.

The refresher courses are different than regular undergraduate courses.  The Advanced Calculus, Probability and Linear Algebra courses focus on topics to be examined in greater detail in the program, cover a number of challenging financial applications, and are taught by experienced instructors from the MFE faculty.  The C++ course is taught by the same instructors who teach the MTH 9815 C++ course, which insures that every student will be at the appropriate level of programming proficiency when the semester starts.

The refresher courses are not for credit and are closed to people not admitted in the Financial Engineering MS Program.

The feedback from the students who took the courses was overwhelmingly positive:

2004 feedback
2005 feedback
2006 feedback

More information on the refresher courses and syllabi will be provided in a timely fashion to the candidates offered admission into the MFE Program.
