Course description

This course establishes the basic principles of Financial Modeling. Topics include different kinds of models (e.g. descriptive vs explanatory, statistical vs structural, etc.), foundational models used in finance (binomial, lognormal, Gaussian, etc.) and their applications (stocks, interest rates, commodities, etc.). Python will be used extensively to illustrate the models, therefore this course also serves as an introduction to the use of Python in finance.
