Hi Ken,

Thank you for your MIT OCW VaR lecture and I am yet another person who drank from the firehose and would love to walk through your "MC stuff 2010.xls" to solidify my understanding. It would be very much appreciated if you are willing to share it again.

Best,

hi there, the latest tuition was provided to us by the Cornell program in our 2018 MFE rankings. Do you have any info or suggestion that it is not correct or up to date? I will update if so.

Hi Andy, I am sending supplementary materials for grad school application and want to include a proof of enrollment in the Baruch's C++ Online Programming course. My TA suggests I reach out to you. Is this something you can provide? Many thanks!

Hi Daniel,

I came across "Mathematics Foundations course" at Datasim, which seems to be what I wanted - read more undergrad math as I am now doing QF at a biz school, which light in math compared to the other offer I had (Math & Econs). How much weekly commitment is assumed for for the 1-1.5 years in course duration? Will I need to code C++ for the exercises/project? I program mostly in Python, a little C#.

Hi Ken, I watched your MIT lecture regarding Monte Carlo simulation of VaR with great enthusiasm.

I can understand if you feel reluctance to share “MC stuff 2010.xls” you went through in the lecture, but if you would, I use it for inspiration on how to adjust my setup.

Alternatively, can you point me in the direction of some articles of historic/MC VaR calculation (including FI)?

Hi Justin,
I see that you are c++ certified. Can you please let me know how you got certified? Did you pursue the QnatNet course or the CPP Institute's course?

Dear Mr Abbott,
I would like first to congratulate you about your classe at MIT posted on YouTube about VAR.Fantastic.
I am looking for a portfolio VAR calculation that include all the instruments: Stocks, bonds, derivatives
I found only VAR on specific instruments but no all of them. I would really appreciate if you have a book or a spreadsheet about it.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello Prof. Abbott,

I watched your lecture on VaR on MIT OpenCourseWare, and found it very interesting. I would like to follow up on what I learned, and was hoping you would be able to share the excel file that you used in the class. If I can see the video correctly, it is called MC stuff 2010.xls. It would be very much appreciated.

My email is benaiva9@gmail.com Thanks!

Hello Ken,

I'am a Masters student writing my thesis at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. I just watched the lecture you gave at MIT on VaR and found it fascinating.

Could I possibly get that excel spreadsheet you used to generate correlated random normals called 'Mc stuff". My email is Dylan.Probyn@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance and have a great evening.

All the best
