About the Course

Course Overview: https://youtu.be/JgFV5qzAYno Python is now becoming the number 1 programming language for data science. Due to python’s simplicity and high readability, it is gaining its importance in the financial industry. The course combines both python coding and statistical concepts and applies into analyzing financial data, such as stock data. By the end of the course, you can achieve the following using python: - Import, pre-process, save and visualize financial data into pandas Dataframe - Manipulate the existing financial data by generating new variables using multiple columns - Recall and apply the important statistical concepts (random variable, frequency, distribution, population and sample, confidence interval, linear regression, etc. ) into financial contexts - Build a trading model using multiple linear regression model - Evaluate the performance of the trading model using different investment indicators Jupyter Notebook environment is configured in the course platform for practicing python coding without installing any client applications....

It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

Very useful introductury course into both python and statistic analysis wich allows you to create a simple trading strategy. It serves as a great first step but there is a long way to go still.

To improve this course, I think that it might have at least a pdf of the lecture because this is helpful for us during the exercise and tests.

Relatively easy course that has taught me a number of useful panda tricks. Notebooks are used just for demonstration and not very challenging.

Professor can do hands simultaneously with lecture then it will be more beneficial and easy to understand instead of explaining from slides

A decent beginners guide to financial analytics.

Don't expect much as this is more like a foundation course for more in depth complex once.

Very good content and excellent notebooks! Didactics (concepts, their relation with each other and applications) could somehow improve.

Very interesting, but some concepts went too fast. It is also very difficult to learn how to code, other than copy-pasting the lines.

Background required, the course often provides no additional/explaining information about technical details, need to use google)

Overall nice course. Sometimes the instructor skips some logical steps. It would also be nicer to see the coding happening live.
