I don't have experience with VBA or VB.net, but worked in MS environment for a few years, I know they do a good job in education so they can lure admin/dev to their technology. MS is a huge marketing machine. After some searching, here is a webcast that may be useful...

Exactly. Same thing, if an oversea Chinese speculator longs RMB, he is not really going to do his country a favor but just going for the money. For Sam's comment, here is my take from my limited understanding. I guess it is difficult to value these assests, partially because their complexity...

Well said, can't agree more. I was just reading the book "blood on the street" (on the Nasdaq tech bubble) last night. Now reading this post, I can see exactly what you mean. Someone said irrational exuberance can keep going irrational for a long time before it eveutally crashes. It is...

I used to work on Windows but just started to work on Linux. GCC (GNU compiler collection) seems to be a free open source compiler that you can use to compile C++ code on Linux and other POSIX platforms. If you only use Windows, you can get a cygwin (kind of run Linux on top of Windows so you...

Due to some change in my personal situation, I will not be looking for house sharing in NY. I know several new Chinese students are still looking for house and maybe sharing, so this should still be a good thread that you can posting questions, sharing housing information and ask for help. Good...

Yes, Alain you are right. This won't work for large numbers. I was thinking that this question must have some tricks but I am not a hard core coder and I can't think of better ways of doing this. Hmm, what's so special about multiplying by 7?

6. C/C++ : Write a function in different ways that will return f(7) = 4 and f(4) = 7 What does this question mean? By the way, for programming jobs, there is a book called "programming interview exposed". It is well written, and I think covers more reasonable aspects with a focus on data...

5. C/C++ : Multiply x by 7 without using multiplication (*) operator. If we just want to multiply by 7, another way to do this is to get it as 8x-x. 8x can be done by shifting the bits if the number is not too large. Honestly, I am not sure what this question wants to test. If it wants to test...

Andy, I think if the question wants to answer negative integer, we can add a line (bold below) to get the absolute value of x before we evaluate. For example, -512 will return 0 with your original code, but after taking abs, it will return 1. Just a small point.

Some interesting problems. Andy, is it ok to discuss the answers here?

Thanks Yan. Understood and I will start looking once I took care a more important issue next week. Best, Richard

Thanks Andy and Yan for the tips. Guess this is memorial weekend, so I will be patient waiting to hear if any new student also looking for houses. Best, Richard

Looking for a safe place near public transportation that allows work/study at night. Housing sharing will be great to make friends, group studying and low the costs. Prefer to allow simple Chinese cooking but can settle for no. Here is me briefly, someone that you can trust having an easy time...

Hi Andy, Thank you very much for the answers! I am very excited about the program and look forward to seeing all of you in the summer. Best regards, Richard

Hi, my name is Richard, a new member here. Today I am so happy that I am admitted to the MFE program starting this fall. I look forward to seeing you all at the school. Questions: Is there a place online or brochure that I can find out approximate costs, including tuition, estimates for...

All right, I will just simplify my post to say hi here :) Just like everybody here, I am interested in moving into the quantitative finance. I have a good background in software engineering, and I enjoy math and stock investments. In the next few years I will be preparing myself for this...
