<t>Hi Guys,I've recently finished a second internship at CSFB, working within client valuations (Ops). Towards the end, I went for a few meetings, one of which was with an MD, who was head of Global Derivatives IT. After our meeting, he was keen to get me involved after I finish Part III Mathematics...

<t>Hi guys,I've just graduated from Cambridge with a high 1st in Mathematics. I'm going on to study Part III, and I'm leaning towards the SUSY side of things - but from a mathematical viewpoint, rather than a physics viewpoint. I really enjoy what I do, and have massive interest in the things I lear...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: playerI dont know how it works at undergrad level but for part III there is some sort of alpha, beta, gamma method of marking...It is the same for Undergrad, but they scrap the gamma.QuoteOriginally posted by: player...I guess this is what makes part III esp hard as com...

QuoteOriginally posted by: player.....Cambridge has an extremly funny way of marking papers....What's wrong with the marking system? I've found it quite straight forward over the past three years.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: benwmHi Anth0ny - I'll be studying at Wolfson college. Are you taking any of the fin-math courses as well as sexy String theory?I'll be specialising in whichever area I choose, so no room for any financial mathematics courses. I'm planning on going through Rennie and Ba...

QuoteOriginally posted by: benwmIs anyone else on the forum beginning Part III of the Mathematical Tripos this October?I'll be starting this October; I completed my Undergrad at Peterhouse, Cambridge. Currently tossing up between Strings/QFT etc and Fluids.

<t>Thanks JanDash and player.player:To get to the kind of level I feel I need to be at, I don't think brushing over some notes in the evening will be enough. I'll be driving into Canary Wharf, and I don't get back home from work until about 8pm. So by the time I've got in and had some food - the day...

<t>Hi guys - I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on the predicament I'm in. Here's the story:1) I'm about to graduate with a Maths Degree and will doing Part III (a bit like a MSc in Maths at Cambridge) next year.2) Last summer I worked at CSFB, and have recently had a call from them t...

I'm a bit confused about the exam. Why are the advertising the 2006 admissions test before the admissions take place? Is the exam not to be sat under exam conditions on the day of interview?

<t>Thanks for the input! I realise that Operations is nowhere near the quant/trading type role - but I figured any experience in the Bank must be a good thing.One question: when you say "strong programming skills", what kind of level do you mean? "Just about knows what a pointer is", or "could re-wr...

<t>Hi Guys. I'm about to sit the last set of exams for my Mathematics Degree at Cambridge. If all goes well, I should hopefully get a 1st, and I've been accepted to do Part III of the Tripos next year. I'll either be specialising in Quantum Field Theory or Fluids (slow, viscous flow specifically). I...
