Do Datasim courses help meet prerequisites and increase admission chances for MFE programs?

Berkeley has required the ODE course for some students, yes.
They are good material. Cover a lot of ground.

Some background on these courses etc.

I could tell why the course is famous and recommended by the renowned MFE programs. The homework questions are well-organized and extremely helpful in learning important C++ concepts. Although the homeworks were challenging for me, as a beginner in C++, I found the time investment worthwhile and...

As someone that doesn’t have credits in PDE/ODE, do you think colleges other than Berkeley would accept the datasim course for it? I’m planning on taking it.

Well, they should accept my ODE/PDE
because it is the only that does a A-Z and does PDE in finance. And based on > 40 years research.I have not made steps in an accredited certification process (how can I go about it?)
If you like, you can DM me.

@Daniel Duffy Just wondering how is the ODE course plan out (The way it is taught, assessment etc) Where can I take a look at the syllabus and the overall structure of it ?

Haven't taken the course yet but I plan to take it soon. I talked to a few of my connections that took the course and they really recommend it. It is recognized by man MFE programs AND it's one of the only courses to relate ODE/PDE to finance.

For MFE Parts A,B,F and G are the core. The others are also useful.
Parts A,B,F and G: exercises to be completed for certificate
Normally 2-3 months is very doable. The style is by audio/video + all docs etc. + copy of my modern 2022 PDE/FDM book for finance. + lots more.And the QN C++ course has a related module on PDE.
I am also the personal coach.
Some background (already posted).

Thanks for the information. Just to confirm Online Courses :: Datasim is the course we are mentioning in the above discussion?For MFE Parts A,B,F and G are the core. The others are also useful.

What other Math courses listed there do you think are foundational & important for an upcoming MFE student / aspiring quant

They are all wonderful, of course!
But seriously, I would say that numerical methods are fundamental in the short term (BTW I trained as a numerical analyst)
