What is the use of matlab, C, C++ in the financial market do they really help?

No, it is a proven theorem that all possible financial problems can be done in excel. p.s. Actually, excel is probably overkill. Any thing you can do in excel can be done by this kid: Seriously, let's say you are receving a real-time exchange feed with X million messages per second.How do you propose handling it? If you need performance, you probably want C. If you want rapid development or prototyping of a complex app, or are academically inclined, you probably want Mathematica or Matlab.

Alan,That kid will be a FEM engineer in mesh generation For FDM, forget C++, you can do it all in Visual Excel; the 1d heat equation in a squre, the walls are the edges of Excel. Euler method so you can experiment with k and h and then display!
