Hi, I searched the forum but couldn't come up with any answers, so here goes my question: What are the topics/ courses that are used in Financial Engineering?

I have the chance to take up to 4 courses (usual UG Physics courses) and my pick was Mathematical Physics & Statistical Mechanics, but I am not quite sure if I am doing the correct thing. Given my interest is to study Financial Engineering, could you tell me what are all the Physics courses that would help me in this regard.

P.S: I am a math major, so I took/ will be taking all the usual math courses (Calc, Real Analysis, Topology, Complex Analysis, Algebra, Diff geo, PDE, ODE, Logic, etc,.).

Thanks for your input guys, much appreciated!

Sorry, forgot to mention, my Physics background is Classical Mechanics I at the level of Mechanics: Berkeley Physics Course, Vol. 1, by C. Kittel, et al, Newtonian Mechanics: MIT Introductory Physics Series, by A. P. French.
 
Thanks physiker, any other comments are welcome.
