For the practices and projects, students have to develop works on algorithms for front-office and risk measurement, such as discounted cash flow, plain vanilla products valuation, first-order sensitivities, etc.
These implementations will be carried out using programming languages and techniques more frequently used in the quantitative financial sector, focusing on performance and software extensibility.
