Hi: I wanted to start the online application process for the MFE @ Baruch. I went to the site Baruch College's Financial Engineering MS Program and used the "Click here" link as in, The application for admission is available on the Embark system and must be completed online. Click here...

I guess the question about "ranking" is broad without measuring the set of observables, which would form your criteria. There are pros and cons to every criteria that I think we have been discussing in these posts. I will try to explain. - Placement rate. Schools might have a placement rate...

All of my information about the Chicago program is from talking to current students. I think current students have the most relevant information available. You should be skeptical of everything you hear from anyone involved in the program. My reason for saying this is: NO ONE, NO ONE in their...

Sorry to bring this up, but I think you are unaware about the UChicago program being extended to Singapore. Information is still trickling in. I am trying to gather as much information as I can. Singapore Program http://finmath.uchicago.edu/new/msfm/news/press_02-5-08.php The university...

If you could also post your finding about the UChicago placement rate and your discussions with other universities, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Google??? What is that? Just kidding ...smile! But yes, I think I followed proper procedure for approaching the problem. I first asked the local experts, then ventured to search engines and then posted a question on a forum geared to help individuals with such questions. So, I asked my Quant...

I need to use linear regression to model the regression between the dependent and about 5-6 independent variables. Are there any free libraries out there that might help me out? I am looking for a C/C++ or a .NET library. Also, I was trying to look at QuantLib for this answer... but I wasn't...

Here is a list of schools that offer MFE programs. I am unsure about their recognition or competency. QuantFinanceJobs.com - Academic, Research & Courses

**Personally**, some people on the street don't really work with C++. They work with a language like C which has the ability to use encapsulation [classes] and the only object-oreinted technique of polymorphism. Most Quants and PhDs (I have tremendous respect for them) are not software...

You wouldn't have these problems if you developed an MSI [Windows Installer] package and a bootstrap installer exe for your program, which could have an installer pre-condition to check the requirements of the system. Of course, few builds an MSI package for deploying an application(s). It is...

What version of VS has been giving you these problems? Are you adding the cpp file to a project, which is housed in a solution or just "adding a new file"? Let me know. Maybe I can help you with those idiosyncrasies. Also about the others .... VS does not want to build unsaved stuff. Hence...

I am planning to apply to a Financial Engineering/Mathematics program, but I didn't want to leave the NY area because of personal circumstances. I searched in Google for "financial engineering new york" and got to the Baruch program. It was the 2nd link. Although it had a link for QuantNet, I...

It is a markup language, so I agree with you that it is excessive. It has this need of being very specific. This is the same complaint about SOAP and some choose to use POX [Plain Ol' Xml] instead of SOAP to reduce a bit of the excessiveness when using Web Services. But there are benefits of...

"Readings in Database Systems, " is the best book to describe the origin of the database concept with the features that were added. It is actually a set of papers from people who researched and developed the systems and the functionality that are available in those systems. Amazon.com: Readings...

Also, you have worked in an IT environment: automated and streamlined processes. You have developed solutions to reduce operational risk. I cannot imagine you conducting back-office or middle-office work [which might come off as mundane, but extremely necessary]. If anything, you might still...

You could also think of Actuarial Science Actuarial science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, I wouldn't say that an MFE would help you work in a moderately stressful environment. You might probably be just as stressed or even more. Working in the Finance Industry is akin to working...

Sorry, but I really disagree with your views. 1) Debugging a problem is a skill. You could send messages from your .Net code to excel and it could display the error, or you could write the error messages to a Log file or the system EventLog. 2) What .Net component are you referring to? I am...

If you are using Excel 2002 or higher, you can call C# assemblies [as long as they follow the interface]. Here are some links: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140061(office.10).aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140056(office.10).aspx I am using it at my company and...
