FIN 465Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Finance
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Finance is an innovative course tailored to bridge the gap between financial theory and practical data science applications using a high-level programming language (e.g., Python) and artificial intelligence. The course will cover fundamental and advanced data handling techniques, data visualization, statistical analysis, and machine learning with a focus on financial datasets. Students will learn through a hands-on approach using programming language and its powerful libraries, as well as Structured Query Language (SQL) for database management. The course will also introduce students to the basics of generative AI, including large language models (LLMs) and prompt engineering, equipping them with the skills to leverage AI in financial contexts.
