Weekly Workshops
Mathematics and Statistics
"During our mathematics and statistic workshop, we explore how concepts such as 'expected value' can be used to find the fair price of financial instruments, and how we can leverage probability models to forecast future market prices when pricing options."
Finance
"Our finance workshop highlights the fundamentals of options, specifically option Greeks, their derivation, and their application in pricing models. We also explore key strategies for hedging and risk management to safeguard a firm’s capital."
Computer and Data Science
"The goal of the computer and data science workshop is to tackle complicated financial problems by combining quantitative analysis and coding abilities. It covers fundamental tools and methods that are necessary for financial data analysis and modeling, such as machine learning models and Python libraries (e.g., NumPy, pandas). By leveraging these skills, students can develop data-driven answers to practical financial problems such as risk assessment, investment strategies, and predictive analytics, ultimately strengthening their ability to make well-informed, quantitative judgments in the financial sector."
