Looking for a risk management position in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles

I have to agree with you on this point. I went back to school to improve my job prospects. It cost much more than it should have considering Kent State is a public school. I paid in-state tuition, and it was still expensive. I found Ohio schools are relatively expensive compared to some...

I finished my undergrad in 2004. I went back and did a year of undergrad classes in mathematics and physics in 2008-2009. I then went directly into graduate school. It's a little rough going back if you have been out for a while, but after the first semester, you are pretty much back in the...

Andy, I know the reasons, but I don't know if they are publicly available. I found out last week directly from the program administrator. I'll email him and let him know that you are looking for some kind of response.

Your best three choices would probably be "Mathematical Foundations of Option Pricing", "Stochastic Calculus", and "Numerical Methods for Option Pricing". The mathematical foundations are best learned with the guidance of a professor. Once you have these, you could teach yourself the material...

What are your intentions? Are you preparing for a run at grad school? Are you just trying to get exposure to financial mathematics?

I taught myself the language using "C++ How to Program" by Deitel and Deitel. This is a good place to start if you are brand new to C++. Once you are comfortable with the basics, I would suggest moving on to "Design Patterns and Derivatives Pricing" by Joshi or "Introduction to C++ for Financial...

Myron Scholes came to Kent State in the fall of 2009. The MSFE students and PhD students were given the opportunity to attend a private talk with him that lasted about an hour. At the end of the talk, he fielded questions from the room. I asked, "What do you think is the single most important...

I graduated from the program in August 2010. My background prior to starting the program consisted of a finance degree from the University of Florida and a year spent studying mostly mathematics and physics at Bowling Green State University to increase my mathematical background. All students...
