I think general GRE's are silly, especially the math section. Anyone (even Gauss) can mess up arithmetic a few times in any one 30min time interval. And whala, no perfect score, no 800. On the other hand, mediocre undergraduates with B's/C's in their math classes could get lucky a few extra...

Fabulous, I was working on statement letters for math phd programs aswell, and forgot that the site had this information. Thank you all very much. :-) Chao,

Hello all, What are Baruch's guildlines for writing the personal statement required with the application? Thank you

Hello all, I wanted to if it's looked upon by graduate school admissions as being absolutely awful to have a grade of W (official withdrawal) on a transcript? Quickly, I'm taking a course which is only an elective (not at all major requirement). After a few weeks into it, I find it a...

Thanks. You are very helpful. :)

I'm sure they are all great programs. :D Just thank God that an affordable high quality program exists at Baruch.

Hello all, Just wanted to know when can we submit an application for Fall 2009? Thank you

Physics Major | What Can You Do With a College Degree in Physics? What Can I do with a Major in Mathematics

Seems reasonable, a dog catching a frisbie does calculus.

Some discrete math, I think, will help your algrithmic thinking => designing nontrivial subroutines. But, I'm math-bias.

Well, computationally, calculus and probability are relatively easy. So, learning these subjects at an elementary level doesn't merit putting off other academic activities. So, do both.

Lol, why is that? Vkaul, How does INPF make you a misfit? lol.

... I have type INTP,

I knew about these tests being used by large employers to improve their own candidate selections. I didn't know, though, they were given importance by quant employers. Since the qualifications to be a quant are relatively demanding. I would think, enough people are unqualified so that such...

lol Hello, Lol, =D>, fantastic. Yea, personality types seem fishy. I don't think they're sixteen of them (maybe 120billion?). A career counselor had me take one. I'd be surprised if it were accurate, I could have gone with a different answer for half the questions (I flipped a mental...

Is both an option? Hello, You couldn't do both? Perhaps work full time and MFE parttime (2 courses/semester)?

Hello Can anyone recommend a non-intro C++ text to financial applications Thanks

Hello, Does anyone here know about Jung's personality types? If so, would you happen to know if all other qualifications being satisfied, does anyone take these 'types' seriously in quant-area? If so, which of these 16 types are best suited for this career? If you don't know, I'd still...

Thanks Thank you, very informative. Yes, I was asking for time breakdown of activities. Since my strongest skills are math and programming, I suppose it's natural to entertain the idea of becoming a quant-something. While on this topic. What C++ text(s) do you recommend for someone who...

Hello again, I wanted to know the proportion of time that FE students and alumni now on the job spend on developing/learning math vs C++ programming vs finance. Of course this becomes an individual decision heavily influenced by preparation level in each catagory, so, I'd like all FE...

Hello Do quants engage in recession analysis or is this fairly exclusive to economists? Take care, Thanks

Hello all, Do some quants in-line assembler code into C++ programs? Can someone recommend a (non-introductory) C++ for financial applications text? Thanks

Hello everyone, I have to choose between two CS courses, (1) Algorithm analysis or (2)Software design. (1) is in C++, (2) is half C++, half C#. (2) is taught by a professor with a reputation of being touph, (2) is taught by an easy professor. Since I'm not a CS major, I don't 'need' either...

Hello to all, I have three questions: I'm a senior undergraduate in mathematics and haven't completely decided what career to persue because several interest me. These include finance, actuary, and math research in different areas as nonlinear dynamics/chaos and computational number theory...
