=D>:D hahahahaha

One of my friend is working as a quant. But his background is really Math. He barely knew programming before he got his offer. In the interview, the interviewer asked him many math and brain teaser questions. But, your background seems to be computing. I suppose not only you need a very solid...

New language to study ...

Have only used Perl and CGI before. After looked it in google, did found some possibility useful links. Not sure if they can help you? C++ webservices: gSOAP: gSOAP: SOAP C++ Web Services XML based ASP.net webservice Walkthrough: Creating an XML Web Service Using C++ and the CLR XML-RPC...

Yes, the 1st name is Justin. I saw it today in Waterstone when I was reading other quantitative finance books. I was planning to read it, if I've finished the books I have and I have time. So, you meant I'd better go for other books?

Thanks very much Chaoticrambler. I really appreciate it. One of the reasons that I am so interested in getting a job as a quant is actually because of my friends is working in Goldman Sachs as a quant. His background is pure Mathematics (Phd). Fortunately, I believe I'm quite good at...

Thanks for the advices. I've checked that post before. And I found those 2 books, because they are in the list. Also, I didn't really know that a CS background is more suitable for the algo-trading/stat-arb positions. According to the 'what does a quant do', these positions are more commonly...

for the 1st question, I think the clue is to use several 32bit integers to construct a larger integer. Then write the algorithm for + - x / operations

Hi Guys Though I am currently doing a medical PhD, I recently become very interested in quantitative finance. I have a good knowledge of Mathematics and Computer science, because I've my Bachelor and Master degree in Computing in reputed universities. But I could say my Finance background is...

Heard the news from Brown a while ago. Now it seems that finally the new policy comes up. Really in a bad time to hunt for jobs now. Even if you get a job, they cut the bonuses down. "imposed a 50 percent levy on banker bonuses" A quick question: does anyone know what the original percentage...

Don't know where are you from and not really sure about the quality of their programs. But if you come to London as an oversea student, you'd be really surprised by the expensive tuition fees of LSE. But, they are good universities. And if I could get money from Cornell or CMU, their offers...

I am also a novice. But I came across this post days ago. Someone replied with some suggestions and discussion about Cuda GPU with the optimization. See if it helps.

Thanks for the information as well. Both of the above 2 points are about speed. I've learned computing in schools for about 6 years. I believe C++ is still the one of the most complicated programming languages. But, if everything is designed properly beforehand, the implementation and the...

As a quantitative finance learner, I know that C++ is widely used in the development. I am always wondering what libraries C++ quants use. :-k

It's a good question. I am also expecting answers.

Don't quite understand why you want to because a quant while you're already a professor in your research field. Plus, C++ is not really easy to master. If you do want to learn to program, maybe C# is a good option to start with.
