Hi,
I always thought maths is like swimming, you learn it once and it stays with you for ever.. BUT i guess i was so wrong.
I am working Hedge funds as a quant/risk analyst for the past 5-7 years.. Last time I studied maths/stats was in 2001. After working in a concentrated field building simple regression models (that traders can understand and use) and lots of programming. I practically have never used any complex mathematics.
I used to be a math wiz before i started working... but now m paranoid, as when I look at even a simple differential equation/eigen values etc.. I can barely remember a thing. I bought a few books but I can not go beyond the first few pages.
What would you guys suggest.. where should I start from.. is there any school in NYC that would allow me to take 4-5 maths courses on a part-time basis as a refresher. I think taking some courses instead of reading books works better for me.. as with a 12 hour a day work schedule, if there is no compulsion I would rather just sleep over it.
Thanks
