This course combines three perspectives: inferential thinking, computational thinking, and real-world relevance. Financial decisions are increasingly data-driven, and require more than inferential thinking. Computational thinking and real-word considerations are also needed for finance professionals to function effectively. Students will utilize all three perspectives to make better financial decisions. The course teaches critical concepts and skills in computer programming (with Python) as well as statistical inference, in conjunction with hands-on analysis of financial datasets.
