<br>
The recent explosive growth in quantitative finance has led
mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering students of<u>
all levels</u> to wonder whether a career or an advanced degree in
quantitative finance is right for them. And with the rapid increase in
sophisticated quantitative and computational techniques employed in
financial firms, there has also been an increasing demand from
industry for quantitative candidates to work in the financial
field.<br>
<br>
<br>
This forum is designed to provide a diverse set of personal views of
the quantitative finance arena. There are a variety of paths into the
field and careers to pursue, of which undergraduate students maybe
unaware. Our panellists are leading professionals with varying
backgrounds and specialties. Without formulas or PowerPoint
presentations, they will share their own experiences and engage in a
moderated discussion with plenty of time to answer student questions.
A reception for students and panellists will be held after the
event.<br>
<br>
Please note that the discussion will be geared toward undergraduate
students in a range of fields, although graduate students are welcome
as well.<br>
<br>
