<t>Thanks again for the input. I have a lot to sort out in my skull but not much time. As for the kind of physics I'm interested in, I'm interested in quantum field theory. Funnily enough, one of you guys mentioned computational physics - what's wrong with computational physics? I LIKE it. It's prob...

<t>Thanks for your input. Making a choice is proving exceedingly difficult. I just somehow feel that by doing a physics PhD I am leaving myself with more options at the end of the day. Also, the danger (for me at least) in committing to a PhD in finance is that I may not be able to get a job as a qu...

<t>Hello, I would appreciate any input on the following.I am going back to college and my long-term aim is to do quantitative analysis.For my PhD, I have to choose between theoretical physics and quantitative finance. I find physics more interesting than finance but reckon a PhD in finance may prove...

Hello,Outside of the following list, can anyone recommend any good places to do an MSc in Theoretical Physics, anywhere in EU? Thanks.OxfordCambridgeImperialKing'sDurhamEdinburgh

Hi player,Just to let you know, yes I did already do an MSc but it was quite a poor one. Spent most of my time in the computer laboratory surfing the net. Seemed like a good idea at the time though.

Thanks for those responses. What about an MSc by research as a platform for a PhD? Would there be a disadvantage in not having taken any graduate level courses?

Hi,Sorry if the answer to this is a little obvious but would good results in part 3 of the Cambridge Tripos provide just as good a platform for PhD applications as an MSc? Thanks. I ask because I believe the fees may be more within my reach than some of the (very) expensive London options.

Hello,I would be very grateful if anyone would kindly recommend some good books on quantitative trading. Thank you.

Hi,I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me if this is correct when it comes to the callable bond, that when the valuation date is equal to the end date then the price of the callable equals the strike. Thanks.callable = reference - call option = reference - max(reference-K,0) = K ?

Hi,I would be very grateful if anyone could point me to any online resources/papers about constructing a "simple" volatility surface. Thanks.
