good finance phd program in boston

Regardless of where you get into in the Boston area, there is always the possibility of going to classes in other Universities, if it's okayed by the professors! You're lucky because Massachusettes has a large number of top programs in the area. Sloan@MIT sould be your top choice though.

<t>Maybe you and I have different definitions of the word Intro. The book by Brandimarte assumes rudimentary knowledge of MATLAB. So you have to know about scripts, for statements etc. If you know these and are then interested in learning about financial applications then by all means go ahead with ...
