Quantitative and data analysis in Python

This unit develops advanced foundational skills in quantitative and data analysis for financial applications using Python as the programing language. Content is organised into 2 sections: introduction to Python and quantitative investment analysis. In the former, you will be introduced to Python and its core libraries for financial applications such as NumPy and Pandas - no prior knowledge in Python or programming is required. In the latter, you will refresh your knowledge on probability and statistics and develop hands-on skills in financial data processing and visualisation, performing correlation and regression, time series analysis, simulation analysis and portfolio construction.
