<t>Hi all, I have a question about the varitaion in Implied vol with relative values of Spot price S and strike price X. I understand that implied vol is used to measure the volatility on the basis of existing options cost. Also the option cost increases as the volaitility of the stock increases acc...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: AthleticoMy answer to the original q would be that some classes should not be used as a base class, and declaring your destructor virtual is inviting others to inherit from it. I think Java lets you express such design intentions with a 'final' keyword or something like...

<t>Hi, I had a phone interview recently and was asked some c++ questions. I made a list of questions that I could not answer satisfactorily and started researching them. I could find asnwers to all but one of the question. The question which has stumped is about the downside of using virtual destruc...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: AthleticoIn addition to Stroustrup you might like Inside the C++ Object Model although it's a little outdated.Side-note: vptr/vtble implementation is C++ "language lawyer" material -- far beyond the scope I'd recommend for interview preparation.Thanks for the replies. I...

<t>Hi, I have been working on C++ for the past 4 years and am pretty comfortable with the language. During this time I have referred to Object-Oriented Programming in C++ be Lafore ( Link ) and C++ How to program by Deitel and Deitel ( Link ). These books have been a good reference from a practical ...

How about "excluding" you from the list. The idea is not to have a ranking, but to have a list of HHs people have had a good experience with. This might seem unnecessary, but the multiple HH problem seems to be more nasty than it sounds.

<t>I will begin job serch very soon and am a little concerned about the negative effects of carpet bombing. Looks like letting a crappy recruiter have access to your resume is suicidal. Does it mean that putting up a resume on monster/dice etc is bad too as HHs have access to that info too. So how d...

<t>Hi, I was talking to someone who works in energy/power derivative trading for a power supply firm and he mentioned that energy futures do not follow a log normal trend and can not be modelled using BS. One must fall back on probability based techniques to price such instruments. This tickeled my ...

We were discussing structured notes in the class and the prof passed around a handout of structured notes offered by the royal bank of scotland. There was a mention of Shariah-Linked notes in the list which I found rather odd. There was also a mention of Dow Jones Islamic Market Index. Link

<t>This is the syllabus of the course I am attending this semester. It is a 800-level course for MBA students and I dont find it mathematically rigorous. I assume such a course offered as a part of MFE program would be a lot more intensive even though the syllabus would look similar. QuoteOriginally...

<t>Hi, I am aware of a number of posts which have come up on this forum regarding an interview at Goldman Sachs. This also re-inforces the idea that GS likes to hold interviews even when they are not looking to hire as suggested in another GS interview thread. Anyway, I submitted my resume to a GS q...

Also look at Probability/Stochastic processes courses. I dont think real analysis would help you a lot. But again that is my own .02 cQuoteOriginally posted by: wonderingThanks, Maelo. Is a course in Real Analysis helpful? Or one just need Mathematical Analysis.Wondering

This is a great question. I think all the transforms that the OP mentioned are linked to FT in some way or the other. The FT of course gives the spectral representtion of the time-domain input.Here is a link on WIKI which connects other transforms to Fourier Transform. Link

How about a stochastic processes/probability course

<t>Which book are you looking at ? Any book on Engineering Mathematics/PDEs should have this solution. If you want to get fancy you could check out Elements of Greens Functions by BartonQuoteOriginally posted by: jaimanand this would be a solution using a Fourier series? i'm trying to find some exam...
