Keep in mind the Math subject test will only really help your chances if you do really well on it. Your energies might be better spent getting an 800 on the math half of the general test.

Happy Birthday Alain!

Happy birthday Professor Kosygina! Thank you for everything, and enjoy your time in France. Bon voyage! ps. "almost surely" == "presque sûrement" ;)

Thank you Thanks all for the kind wishes. We've been home since Tuesday and are settling in OK, even though we're not sleeping much. Little Sam is eating and sleeping plenty, so far so good. :smt015

This book has a very readable style, good for self-study: Amazon.com: Yet Another Introduction to Analysis: Victor Bryant: Books I don't know how it compares to the others in terms of coverage.

David Einhorn speech on subprime crisis This is a good read, another person taking the ratings agencies to task for dropping the ball: http://www.grantspub.com/UserFiles/File/Einhorn_Grants_Conference_04-08-2008.pdf This is the article that pointed me to the speech...

You can open the text file with Excel, so that you get the "Text Import Wizard" that lets you specify how the columns are set up, whether fixed width or delimited by some character. Then on the 3rd screen of the wizard, after your columns are divided, you can specify a data type for each...

Happy Birthday Vadim! =D> :cheers:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/opinion/30strogatz.html It seems fishy that a such a long hitting streak is as likely as they say, but I guess that's the point. Joe D.'s hitting streak as a "black swan".

A belated Happy Birthday, Andy! Your contribution to QuantNet really speaks for itself, thanks for all you do for this site. And all good wishes for the coming year, with the baby on the way. :smt038 Hope you had a great celebration.

Thanks everybody for the good wishes. I was offline for the long weekend, and just found this today. Big thanks. :D

Happy Birthday Chris! Have a great one! :cheers:

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed those cookies, they are my favorite. I had a feeling the box was a little small... Hien, sounds like you threw a great party, nice work. :tiphat:

Have a great time, everybody. Sorry to miss the festivities, I'm travelling today. Cheers to everybody that just finished the program, and have a beer or three for me. :drinkers: See you in the new year, have a great holiday!

Congrats Alain and Wendy, great news! :cheers:

I would take Real Analysis, because Stochastic Processes is covered in the MFE program itself. Real Analysis is not taught as a separate class in this program, but much it is an important foundation of the Probability class, though not a formal prerequisite.

Count me in. Hopefully it can be scheduled outside of working hours, for us part-timers.

Happy Birthday dude!

Feliz cumpleaños, Alain!

my .02 I have a Mac laptop and I think it's a great way to go, that's what I'd recommend. You really have the best of both worlds since you can run windows so easily. The best way to do that, btw, is Parallels Virtual Desktop, not Boot Camp. Boot Camp requires partitioning your HD and rebooting...

Happy Birthday Danny. Enjoy! JH

I would say that flexibility and readability of your code is a much bigger advantage than the runtime performance, at this stage of the game. Fine-tuning performance comes later, the priority now is to be able to understand the code and verify that it produces a correct result. A quote from Don...

Professor Kosygina recommended this book to me and I think it's great: Calculus, by Lipman Bers 2nd ed., 1976 https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Lipman-Bers/dp/0030892686/

I've just completed the prerequisite courses over the past year, and I'm starting the Baruch MFE program this fall. I can tell you what worked for me. I registered at Baruch as undergrad non-degree, though it sounds like Erica has a better suggestion in terms of registration. In any case, I...
