Hi, I just came across this fancy term, 'computational finance'.

Just wondering if it's something worth learning and if this can be learnt without taking an actual course in uni, like maybe some MOOC online?

Yes, it is highly rewarding if you enjoy applying mathematics, statistics, and programming to analyze financial markets. It opens doors to highly sought-after roles like quantitative analyst, financial engineer, and algorithmic trader.

Can You Learn It Through MOOCs?
Absolutely! While certain specialized quantitative hedge funds may prefer advanced university degrees (such as a Master of Science in Computational Finance), many professionals build the necessary skills entirely through rigorous online courses, personal projects, and self-study.
