    My Journey as a UCLA MFE Alum: Risk Management in Crypto and FinTech

    @Shashi_Kn thank you for sharing your journey. Very interesting path and it's clear that you've learned a lot and internalized a lot along the way.

    Why are some quant programs exclusively international students?

    Thanks @Andy Nguyen . While at Baruch I was consistently challenged to keep up with my international peers in math courses. So much talent and knowledge out there in the world.

    An invention that could change the internet for ever

    I already use this search engine and think it's very interesting. I find that searching for math topics it is a great resource as all the information is in one place, not scattered on different web pages.

    B.A. Mathematics

    I did go to Baruch, but I haven't applied to any graduate schools yet so I wouldn't know. As far as undergraduate recruiting, I can tell you for sure that it is much stronger at Cornell.

    Baruch MFE Baruch MFE excels - Prestigious grad program shines bright

    Great article. Beyond being hard-working and very intelligent, Muting, Andy and Phat have exceptional personal character as well. I have found this of every Baruch MFE student. As for the picture on the top - Asian invasion, anyone?

    BusinessWeek Undergraduate School Rankings

    Ilya, You have a bizarre way of doing two things. One is to glorify those who specialize in mathematical finance to levels previously reserved for gods. The second is what seems like an unending need to justify where you are studying and your academic background by trying to convince yourself...

    Let's talk politics and Wall Street...

    =D> Great reply and insight, woody. Ilya, I hope the response to your comments have caused you to think and approach problems from a different perspective. On a side note - "I remember one day in college a long time ago, I looked over at my roommate's bed. His girlfriend had carved into the...
