Project

The aim of the project is to write a non-trivial application related to financial engineering. Besides the documented Java code, you are also expected to hand in a report. Guidelines for writing your report can be found here. In your report you need not include a "Programmer's Guide" section (since your code is, of course, well-documented).

Projects can either be done alone or in a group of two (groups larger than two are not allowed). Research has shown that groups of two are often ideal for programming projects like this one.

By October 19, each group is expected to email the instructor

  • a list with the names of the members of the group,
  • a description of the project (you are suggested to provide a number of milestones ranging from objectives that are easily accomplishable to more challenging objectives), and
  • a list of Java packages to be used in the project, including the URL where the package can be found.

Some packages can be found here.

The project is due on December 15. Email the instructor

  • your report,
  • your application, and
  • the Java code you used to test your application.

A sample of a project proposal and a sample of a project report have been posted. These are samples. They are not perfect, but are of very good quality.
