What background knowledge is necessary?

Students should at some point have taken intermediate to advanced undergraduate courses in: (i) probability and statistics, (ii) linear algebra, and (iii) calculus. With regards to programming, we have designed the course so that all required “programming” questions can all be completed within Excel and Python. That said, students are welcome to complete the assignments using their software/programming languages of choice. It would also be very helpful if people have had some prior exposure to an introductory finance course. In particular, students should know what interest rates are, understand discounting and compounding, and have some basic familiarity with options, futures, etc.
