From Theoretical Physics to Quantitative Finance


Mark Mueller, MIT Alumni
Wed Jan 12, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

What does physics have in common with financial markets? Are the skills of a theoretical or experimental physicist useful in the analysis of financial markets? How can physicists or other scientists and engineers pursue careers in quantitative finance? The speaker’s answers to these questions will form the basis for a discussion that promises to range from the practical aspects of job-hunting to philosophical questions about the role of mathematical models in describing and organizing what we observe.
