Greetings, all.

Hello, everyone. My name is Sebastian and I am a recent undergraduate transfer at Baruch. I became interested in Baruch's MFE program while doing research on Baruch before enrolling.

I discovered an article wherein the Dr. Stefanica, the program director, mentions a specific concentration offered under Baruch's Mathematics major, the "Mathematics of Finance" concentration, which specifically put together for the purpose of preparing students to enter a career as quants. (For anyone interested, the article can be seen here (http://www.quantnet.org/forum/showthread.php?t=775)).

Being a recent transfer, I still have quite a few required "core curriculum" courses to fulfill, and I figured I would use this time to my advantage to see if I am, indeed, strong enough in mathematics to go all the way one day as a quant. I do love math but have yet to take my first calculus course (that'll change this coming Monday) and so have no real basis on wihch to project my future performance.

I look through this forum a lot (a lot!) and wanted to sign up in case I ever had any questions all the knowledgable people here could answer.

That's all from me for now. Thanks for reading!

How do you quantify "a lot" in this case ? ;)
I read every single thread/post on this forum and there are 16K+ of them so I can say I read "a lot". But hey, who has time to read that much now, right ?

Every single thread?! Wow, that is impressive, Andy!

Sebastian, the person to contact with questions about the Financial Mathematics concentration is Professor Elena Kosygina <Elena_Kosygina@baruch.cuny.edu>

Email me and stop by my office as well.
