Schools How Many Math Classes Do You Need for Quantitative Analysis?

AI Thread Summary
To pursue a career in quantitative analysis, a strong foundation in applied mathematics is crucial. Essential coursework includes differential equations, numerical analysis, and advanced linear algebra and calculus. Knowledge of financial mathematics and programming skills in C++ are also important. It's advisable to review the specific requirements for a finance degree and assess the number of math classes completed to ensure preparedness for this field.

I mean I'm guessing the answer would be no you can't but I figure it would be worth asking anyway

I am not sure about the requirements for a finance degree, but a good idea would be to check the requirements for a major in applied math. Differential equations (ordinary and partials), numerical analysis, and second year linear algebra & calculus are absolutely essential in applied math. For quantitative analysis, it would be a good idea to have knowledge of financial mathematics and C++.

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
