  1. how to call a function in access from matlab

    I do this from not matlab but windows scheduler in a bat script, what you are missing is that the Run command is only going to run "macros" not vba subroutines. Go into the access database and create a macro which calls the vba subroutine and then it should work.
  2. retaking classes

    Thank you all, your comments are greatly appreciated. Yes time is very much my biggest constraint as I am working full time.
  3. retaking classes

    So I am going back to school part time while working to get the prerequisits, and I am finding I am not doing so well in the in my calc2 class. Not for lack of understanding the material, which I didn't find to be difficult, but for example I didn't finish the test and got poor grades and...
  4. MIT expands online courses, offering Certificates

    As someone who is trying to pick up coursework (Just finished calc2 yay!) as I can with work this is really exciting to me. My question is will these certificates be taken seriously, or even comparable to actual inclass work? Will they differentiate in grading?
  5. Occupy Wall St.

    Everyone talks about deregulation, that's not the problem. You wouldn't need stacks of regulations to make sure wall street did the "right thing" if you didn't have all the implicit guarantees that the government provides. And if you didn't have all the regulation, smaller outfits could afford...
  6. House Harkonnen - the Dune discussion

    Paul wasn't the true kwisatz haderach, you have to remember that he was one generation too soon, Leto II was the "true" kwisatz haderach, and his abilities far outstripped Pauls. Leto's prescience was much more clear.
  7. Occupy Wall St.

    Instead of holding up signs about what they don't like (capitalism, banks, ...money), I'd like to signs for what they support ... I mean why don't they just hold up signs that are blatantly honest like "I want rich people to pay for my free stuff" or "health care is a right (paid for by you)"...
  8. Earthquake

    I am in WTC7, and as you might imagine, people's first instinct wasn't an earthquake.We definitely felt it, the building started clearing out immediately, they botched it and didn't even sound the alarm.
  9. Baruch Math Degree CS Minor Question

    Thank you all very much, this was very informative. Being taught the maths from the MFE faculty is a big plus.
  10. Baruch Math Degree CS Minor Question

    Hello, So I have been on a silent quest to relearn math from the ground up. Been studying the proofs behind all the basics from trig/logarithms up through single variable calculus in an effort to go back and get a 2nd degree in math at Baruch (accepted for the fall). I may not finish the...
  11. CFA Level I

    Perhaps "weighted" more heavily is a bad choice in words. If you are on the margins of your score, they will sometimes use your ethics score to put you over the edge (or throw you overboard). I have read this many times, but by all means check out the analystforum and do the research separately...
  12. CFA Level I

    Also note that the ethics section is weighted more heavily per question than the rest of the sections.
  13. GRE Averaging or "best of"

    Thank you all for your feedback! You all make good points. Thanks Andy for being honest so I can keep my expectations aligned with my performance.
  14. GRE Averaging or "best of"

    Hello, I have been working on GRE practice sets and my average score is around 89% so far, missing only the most difficult/hard to understand questions. I am not sure how this will translate to the GRE CAT but I want to take it to find out. But I don't want to take it yet if many of the good...
  15. GMAT or GRE for the MFE ?

    I wanted to do a program because I mean look at the top programs and the average scores, it seems all the programs are around the 95 Percentile range, I mean I feel like I am a smart kid and all but, I have to assume that all these GRE and GMAT candidates are college grads and the people getting...
  16. GMAT or GRE for the MFE ?

    I talked to the admissions folks at CMU, they accept both the GMAT and GRE. What other programs accept the GMAT? I wanted to take the manhattan GMAT program which is $1400 (not cheap for me). I looked at it this way... If I can't score high enough to get into a good MFE, I can use it for an MBA...
  17. Best C++ for experienced VBA/PHP developer

    @Uncle Max, Thanks for the suggestion I will investigate it as well... As for the C++ via CLI thanks for clarifying that. It was something that was bugging me on whether the programmers here were using the .Net or were using it unmanaged.
  18. Best C++ for experienced VBA/PHP developer

    Much Appreciated! Will be purchasing!
  19. Best C++ for experienced VBA/PHP developer

    Hello, I read through a bunch of the post and I couldn't find anything that specifically referenced this question, but I was looking for a book that would attack C++ from the perspective of someone who understands the basic principles of OOP. At this point I know the Excel/VBA "system" inside...
  20. Hi Mannya, I think I am going to take the approach you took. I just applied to Baruch College...

    Hi Mannya, I think I am going to take the approach you took. I just applied to Baruch College in NY. I hope to do it part time at nights while I work (have to pay the bills). I was hoping to stay in touch and see how the program is working out for you and any advice you may have. Cheers, Patrick
  21. My Next steps...

    Thank you mannya for your response. I read your blog and am intrigued by the doing a second undergrad option. My intial reaction was not wanting to because of all the time taking the BS classes like art history classes like that... they were A) a waste of my time and B) pulled down my GPA. From...
  22. My Next steps...

    I appreciate everyone being frank with me. I will start looking into math programs then. I suppose with that I will need to take the GRE and start looking for programs in NY. I'm confident I would do well in one of those programs, the only classes I really didn't do well in were ones that were...
  23. My Next steps...

    It is more quantitative than qualitative... from reading about it, it matches what I want to do.
  24. My Next steps...

    Hello, I am new the forum. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in finance and accounting with a minor in economics. My GPA was mediocre at best, kind of got hit my senior year because of some health issues... 3.05/4 ..I realize that's not doing me any big...
