New Quantnet members say hi

hi everyone, my name is Gaurav and supposedly a prospective student of MFIN and I am here to explore and learn all about Quantitative Finance education and career......I hold a Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering from one of the so called top ranked univeristies.............
 
Gaurav welcom to Quantnet :) If you have any questions, just ask :)
Meanwhile, look around, we have a lot of interesting info posted on the website.
 
Hey guys,
Hi! I'm Ramnik Arora from IIT (India) and pursuing my majors in Mathematics and Scientific Computing. I am currently in my 3rd year and will graduate '10.
My knowledge is almost zilch so I don't think I'll be able to contribute much as of now with anything other than occasional questions. :). Sorry!
Cheers,
Ramnik Arora

Ramnik, welcome to Quantnet!

It is not a problem that you don't know much about finance now :) when I was in my 3rd year, I was not aware of Financial Engineering at all. So hopefully by the time you graduate, you will be an expert. And maybe we'll help you a bit here in the forum. Finance has lots of areas to choose from. Ask questions, do research, and you'll figure out which path to go.

Hi to you too :) and welcome!

Not many people get interested in Finance from High School :) some get their degrees in other disciplines first.

By the way, who can tell me what was Dr. Shreve's major when he was an undergrad? :) Those who don't know will never guess.

Yes, thats what I'm talking about :) He is very famous in the area of Mathematical Finance. However, Dr. Shreve was a German major as an undergrad. And then he did MS in Electrical Engineering and worked in the area of Stochastic Control (wrote a book on that as well). It was only after few years that he became interested in Finance :)

Linguist, mathematician - it's all symbolic manipulation. I was stronger at modern and ancient languages than at mathematics - I just did not see as good career prospects in languages, rather sadly.

In my case, languages, history, literature can only a hobby. I don't picture myself dealing with anything else but numbers :)
 
Hey everybody, I'm excited to talk some trader talk. It's to bring the trading and hedge fund community into the public consciousness that I've written my new book 'An American Hedge Fund'. Hope you guys enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed writing it!
