Saturday looks sunny enough. We should meet there one hour earlier and buy tickets on the spot. It shouldn't be a problem for Grounds Admission Tickets.

Either through USTA http://usta.usopen.org/US-Open/group_sales/ or ticketmaster.com where I see the US Open Grounds Admission Tickets available with description: GROUNDS ADMISSION (GA) PASS ONLY **TICKET ALLOWS ACCESS TO THE GROUNDS OF **THE NATIONAL TENNIS CENTER INCL. **ALL COURT AND STADIUM...

I play once in a while like an amateur ... Let's watch the pros first at US Open, for Labor Day, on Monday 09/05/2011 in Flushing, Queens. They sell All Day Access tickets and we can watch multiple games throughout Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and have a drink in between. (hopping for...

We should first get a tournament framework accepted. What about: mind game+individual sport+team sport?

Table tennis, badminton are olympic sports. Looks like Chess is not. http://www.olympic.org/sports

I'm in for a basketball tournament. Maybe we should call it Quantnet/MFE Olympics, but with different sports each year. First year: chess, table tennis & basketball. Another year can be another mind game, badminton & soccer.

sqrt use should be ok since only

Un an nou fericit! La Multi Ani 2011!!

Now I realize the benefits of a 3-D TV :) ... otherwise I think that 3-D represents the future of cinema.

Happy Holidays to all quantnetters!

The final individual results are attached.

RoR = 59.32% At least last night, when I was still able to access the system, this was my standing: Cash: 69,806.58 UPL: 9,857.50 Floating P/L: 0.00 Equity: 79,664.08 Margin: 0.00 Avail. Eq.: 79,664.08 Though, I think I might have not respected the "Maximum of 8 contracts per currency...

Buying low & Selling high on EUR/USD got me into this state :): Cash: 60,060.39 UPL: 5,618.21 Floating P/L: 0.00 Equity: 65,678.60 Margin: 0.00 Avail. Eq.: 65,678.60 Used the protection on Limit to close a particular trade.

Choose the Army’s IT Department and try to work on the applications that serve the Finance department. You might do mostly accounting stuff, still good to see if you can understand finance. During the army take an MSc in Applied Mathematics and do well. Read finance. After that, if you...

I know that if you submit this year's application you will be able to reactivate it next year. Just remember to call the Graduate Admissions Office in the fall and let them know your intention.

Another excerpt: "Simple clear models with explicit assumptions about small numbers of variables are ... the best way to leverage your intuition without deluding yourself."

Yes, I want. I'm interested in the VaR calculation, for OTCs.

I was not wrong, just incomplete. Good luck! to you, too.

I didn't know the exact solution from the beginning, but, there is nothing wrong with having two approaches that, in the end, reach the same conclusion.

(x\in(\frac{(2*k)\pi}{2^n},\frac{(2*k+1)\pi}{2^n})-\{\frac{1}{2^n}\frac{(2*k+1)\pi}{2}\}) for (\forall k,n\in N) can imply that for any n and a certain k, natural numbers, a unique x exists if the intersection of these sets (for each n) is not the empty set. But, it is.

(sin(2^n*x)>0 \Longleftrightarrow (2*k)\pi<2^n*x<(2*k+1)\pi \Longleftrightarrow \frac{(2*k)\pi}{2^n}<x<\frac{(2*k+1)\pi}{2^n}). Remove the (2^n*x = (2*k)\pi/2) values for which (cos(2^n*x)=0 \Longrightarrow x\in(\frac{(2*k)\pi}{2^n},\frac{(2*k+1)\pi}{2^n})-\{\frac{1}{2^n}\frac{(2*k+1)\pi}{2}\})...

You are right. The square root must be positive. So, the constraint (\sin(2^n * x)\neq 0) should, actually, be (sin(2^n * x) > 0)

The equlality is true for (\forall x \in R) such that: (\sin(2^n*x)\neq 0, \cos(2^n*x)\neq 0, \forall n\in N) By using the following identity: (\sin(x)^2=\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}*cos(2x) \\) (ID) Squaring left/right sides, the equality can be transformed as follows...

Yep, you're right ... I didn't see that weird behaviour.

I found this link: Experts Introduction on their Community Support Help Page: Experts Exchange Help

In general if you go to an experts exchange page through google, the answers are always hiding way at the bottom of the page. (probably so the site is searchable; don't know why they don't hide it from user agents that aren't search engines...) If you have set an automatic Login ( the...

I can help unloading the provisions and bring some snacks and backgamon/chess games.

Is this a quantitative question? Anyway, the triangles BEC and AKE obtained after folding the paper, are similar. BC is obtained by solving a system of 3 equations with two unknowns x, BC: (\frac{x}{m}=\frac{p}{w-x}=\frac{BC-p}{sqrt(m^2+(w-x)^2)}) Please see attached.

I can rent a car and help you move the items. I live in Queens, close to the City.

no calculators and be sure you practice using no more than 2 pencils/test, it's a pain if you are use to pen.

I think that the formula should be: (\frac{n!}{(n-k)!} * (n-k)^{k-1})

MyGreTutor has a lot of free tutorials, practice questions and a vocabulary tutor. But, they offer only one free CAT and you have to pay $5.99 for additional 4. MyGRETutor :: GRE practice tests, practice questions, tutorials and vocabulary

14) What comes next in the following sequence ? 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11,... I was thinking at 13, too, by applying n = Floor{[(n-1)+(n+1)]/2} rule to each number. But, 1 denies it. Hint: Has to do with the spelling of each number. :)

You have to add a record counter and use it to create groups of 30k records: First, create a counter field in a Query on w_household_d table, assuming row_wid is unique: myQuery: SELECT (SELECT COUNT(row_wid) FROM w_household_d AS a1 WHERE a1.row_wid<= a2.row_wid) AS [counter], a2.*...

In general, when entering a MFE program, is good to have knowledge of elementary statistics like: Regression, Confidence intervals, Hypothesis testing; also, a basic understanding of stochastic processes (Markov chain).

Hi Dominic, I've just sent you a copy of my resume and I'm hopping to receive the Guide to Quant Careers. Thank you, Emil
