Computer Systems Applied to Financial Analysis

Undergraduate course, University of Jaén, Department of Computer Science, 2021

This course covers the fundamentals of computer systems and their application to financial analysis. Topics include data management, financial modeling, and the use of Microsoft Excel for financial computations.

At first, I expected the course to be somewhat boring, but it turned out to be quite interesting. For example, Microsoft Excel offers powerful features, such as genetic algorithms for solving optimization problems. We also implemented a simple recommender system based on a database of user ratings for films.

The slides I prepared for the course were published in the institutional repository (CREA).
