Our financial analytics class familiarizes students with the latest AI technologies and how to use them to solve real-world financial problems. We teach our students to use Large language models (LLMs), including Copilot and autopilot programming tools. 
 
Students in this class learn how to use analytical tools to develop trading strategies, analyze financial reports, and forecast financial markets. By taking the class, students gain the skills and knowledge they need to use modern AI tools to solve real-world financial problems in any industry that analyzes data. This ability can give them a significant advantage in the job market and help them to become more successful in their careers. 
 
Students can use copilot and autopilot programming tools to write code more quickly and efficiently. This can help them to automate tasks and complete their assignments and projects quicker and easier, which is especially beneficial in industries where analysts use data on a large scale. 
 
Overall, our financial analytics class encourages students to use modern AI tools to solve real-world data analytics problems. These skills can give them a significant advantage in the job market and help them to become more successful in their careers.
