Welcome to Part 2 of my adventures with a Pythonic CFA Level 2 quant study guide. Part 1 covered correlation analysis; Part 2 will start off with Learning Outcome Statement 9d and go from there.

I got most of the way through this reading, but had to move on to other (less python friendly) readings; I'll try to revisit this series after the exam.
This year I'm trying to take the 'bite' out of computational finance a bit by using Python to better understand the relationships and formulas in the CFA 2018 L2 text. Here's the first installment, focusing on correlation. I'm using new service kyso.io to host my Jupyter notebooks, and so far it seems to be working well! Gladly welcome comments on this work.
