Re: Derivation for two independent brownian motions

@Alan,
The bonus question you provided is interesting! 
I have not googled but would the answer be 0?

Feasible(?) summer holiday self-study project

Hi Wilmott forums, I was thinking of self-studying Measure, Integral and Probability - Marek Capinski, Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series, over the summer holidays (~13 weeks). However, I would like to know whether this proposal is feasible and would like to hear your opinions! Some backgroun...

Re: Opinion on selecting Module Electives for Bachelor's Degree

@Cuchulainn,  I perfectly agree with your comment on understanding measure theory/ functional analysis ASAP because time isn't our brain's friend.  On the other hand, Alan and bearish are more inclined towards option 2... for reasons I can agree with..  I am still caught in between these two paths.....

Re: Opinion on selecting Module Electives for Bachelor's Degree

@Cuchulainn: One module I excluded from that long list is, in fact, a module on numerical PDEs. The contents include: various numerical integration schemes for solving ordinary differential equations, and (2) finite difference methods for solving various linear partial differential equations. Major ...

Opinion on selecting Module Electives for Bachelor's Degree

To the Wilmott community,  May I seek your opinion on which electives should I take over the course of my 4-year undergraduate degree?  TLDR: Should I pursue the measure-theoretic probability path or the Statistics/Computer Science path?  Some context about myself: I am currently a freshman attendin...

Re: Recommendation on Quantitative Finance Research Papers for Undergraduates

Hi all, I do find it difficult, if not impossible, to grasp anything close to math finance as an undergraduate freshman. @cuchuliann, I do not think I will be able to appreciate the paper by Daniel J. Duffy presently.   With regards to my university paper, I suppose I will look at another topic, per...

Re: Recommendation on Quantitative Finance Research Papers for Undergraduates

Ah, I forgot to add two more restrictions,  I am only in my first year of undergraduate studies so I am hoping for something more manageable... The paper has to be published from the year 2013 onwards, as well as peer-reviewed.  Nonetheless, I am very grateful for the papers you have shared - I wil...

Re: Unable to change email address

Hey Ppauper, 

Thanks for the reply. 
Do you happen to know of any email providers whose email addresses would be accepted by the system? 
I am currently using my university's email address but that would not be a permanent solution.
