What about the other hard topics in mathematics? The above list feels like applications of mathematics. The goal of learning mathematics is insight.I am currently studying mathematics and Statistics,plus a degree in Banking and finance. I want to know how much value is placed on knowledge of topics in Optimization/linear and non linear programming for constrained and unconstrained minimization problems, stochastic dynamic programming? Graph theory and networks design, applied probability, numerical analysis, statistical modeling, operational research, number theory, stochastic dynamics? How useful are these, or how valued are they in finance? Basically, how valuable is math to finance?
A more rounded approach IMO. An exampleYou mean topics in pure math? What topics to be exact do you mean?
I am currently studying mathematics and Statistics,plus a degree in Banking and finance.
what does that mean, it can be read in at least 2 different waysThese are a mixture of pure and applied math, I cover all of these, albeit in more depth. https://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/course but in order to practice finance, what topics are best to focus on and perfect?

(a) you already have a degree in banking and finance and are now studying mathematics and statistics at cambridge
or
(b) you are currently studying for a degree in banking and finance as well as currently studying mathematics and statistics at cambridge
The link looks good, but is it something I can learn on my own? $1450 is a lot to cough out. Several universities require c++? Why?Then you have a good background (Cambridge).
The C++ books by Bruce Eckel are good. He does applications and not just dry syntax.
Here you can see the list of C++ topics

If you plan to go to the States several universities require C++ as prerequisite.
