Specific topics covered in the Analysis course are: series of real numbers; series and sequences in n-dimensional real space Rn; limits, continuity and derivatives of functions mapping between Rn and Rm; closed and open sets, compactness and other topological ideas in Rn; metric spaces...

I was thinking similarly as well, The optimisation course will cover: Weierstrass' Theorem Lagrange's Theorem Kuhn - Tucker Theorem Finite and Infinite Horizon Dynamic Programming. The inference course: Data reduction Point estimation Interval estimation Hypothesis testing I am leaning more...

Hello everyone, just wanted to hear some opinions. I got accepted to do a Diploma for Graduates in Mathematics at the University of London External System and I have to select 4 optional courses out of list below: Game Theory Advanced Mathematical Analysis Optimisation Theory Mathematics of...

ok, thanks for your input. I gather then that most of being a quant is self education? apart from education, there is still much more to learn?

Some background: I am from Jamaica, and an MFE program is not available here. Also, I am about to join the army here and they may/may not send me overseas for education. However, one of the schools here offers an MSc in Finance.... currently I know (or dont think) that I will not get into a...

After re reading this site. I can not see why this isnt a viable MSc in Jamaica. I was advised not to do it.

for applied math, check this out. I recently did some googling on this SIAM: Thinking of a Career in Applied Mathematics?

You know what, I gonna stop worrying about it. What has been done, has been done and I can not change my past. I will just do my best from now on and 'Que sera, sera'. Thanks everyone for responses, Ill try to be active here, I think this forums is quite helpful. I shall refer my friends to it.

Well, if I do get accepted, I would be an officer, Second Lieutenant. I hope I do rise to at least Captain before I leave. I do not know how long it will take for me to advance. I was informed by someone not to pursue MSc in Applied Mathematics as it is not a viable degree in Jamaica (unless I...

boy, I dont intend to stay in the army. but we will see. thx for all the responses, I found this forum at a critical time in my life. I will definitely share my experiences.

Since graduation, I have done much research, it has lead me to economics, it has lead me to finance, my interest lead me to pursue meeting a financial director of one of the banks here (I met one, I have much respect for him, if I could follow someones path it be his). I want to persue...

I should also mention that I did some undergrad intermediate economics courses out of curiosity after graduation. I enjoyed them. I really wish not to do another undergrad degree but if it the best choice to get me where I would like to be, I guess I would consider it.

Let me be more specific, I applied, I am not in, so I can still decline. I am bound to them for 7 - 8 years, meaning I can not quit, but I will pretty much have a normal life. There is an IT and Finance department in the army, and I had stated that I would like to go into either of the 2. They...

Am I doomed? Share your thoughts I am interested in Financial Engineering, but I would like to hear some honest opinions about my options. I am currently 24, 25 soon. I am unemployed. I applied to join the army in my country. I have always been good at math, (it is the only passion I have) but...

Hello Everyone, I am from and I live in Jamaica, found this site by doing alot of googling. I have a degree in computer science, and I am really interested in Financial Engineering. I hope Ill be a permanent part of the community. OG
