Computational Finance with MATLAB®

Seminar Overview

Attend this free seminar to find out how finance professionals worldwide use MATLAB to conduct research, rapidly prototype algorithms, develop financial models, and deploy them to decision makers such as risk managers, actuaries, investment managers, and traders.

In this seminar, you will learn how to apply MATLAB to your financial application development process. MathWorks application engineers will demonstrate how you can use MATLAB and related toolboxes to analyze data and create forecasts, measure risk, develop optimization strategies, calculate prices, determine cash flow, and more.

Discover how other financial professionals are developing financial models as much as 90% faster than with C++, Visual Basic, and other languages.
