Re: Physicists, Stop the Churlishness

All those mathematical acrobatics from differential geometry, topology to second quantisation I used to make to solve some unrealistic models of real materials.. On a related note, Morvigor is heavily influenced by PF and Mayhem . The bassist/grunter has a MSc in algebraic topology. He is allergic ...

Re: CMS Spread

Is CMS spread the same as a CMS spread range accrual?

I guess MC, Lattice FFT methods (not PDE spread  models) are usually used? 

// is a CMS spread much different from spread options, grosso modo? More HW2 than BS?

Re: Physicists, Stop the Churlishness

There is a somewhat cavalier attitude to time .. I vaguely remember a discussion about Big Bang when  t = 0. Someone asked what about t < 0. Someone suggested sticking on a hyperbolic PDE willy-nilly. Result: model blows up .... violates one of the laws of thermodynamics it seems. Time and Space … I...

Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 Mr. Cuch,  Are you going to get shitfaced today? If you ever come to NYC on this day, the drinks are on me.  I drink myself to oblivion on StP day with my Irish cop pals.  A couple of years ago we even got tatoos at 4:00am in the morning at St. Mark's place.  I think you should contemplate getting...

Frans de Waal I don't know if he was an inspiration, but surely a refuge for me - in his books, research and anonymous social media interactions. Now sure if anyone here could bother reading his books, but here they are: frans de waal - Google Search I do remember your mentioning him here. He is no...
