cheater, thanks for the reply. Would you recommend EFFAS for someone with MSc in Math then?

<t>Does anyone on this forum know what Euromoney training courses are like?I'm keen to know were Euromoney stands as a training provider in general, what level are their courses taught at, what's the usual audience, etc...The reason I'm asking is that Euromoney training brings one of their programme...

I would also recommend Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++", this is a great C++ course. As for the compiler/editor, I use GCC and TextPad. The latter works very well also as and editor for TeX and tons of ther purposes/

Can someone please suggest a good starter's text on bonds portfolio management? I've read Sharpe's "Investments" and feel I could take more maths on the subject.

<t>sam, I'm not sure what commas you refer to. Did you mean the quotation marks? Try \glqq \grqq for ,,german'' style and `` '' (two apostrophe marks in a row) for "english" style quotation marks.Refer to documentation for Babel package for more information on different national typography settings....

TextPad is my favorite editor for programming, LaTeX, text and log processing. Quite versalite, very robust, has a lean interface.

sam, sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough. I was responding to your question about subsubsections in the TOC.As for you PS figure question, it will help if you tell us what dvi viewer you use (Yap, I suppose?) and what is the error you get when you open the file.

try adding \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} to the preamble. This counter sets the number of levels to include in TOC. You won't need explicit \addcontentsline, too.

sam, you might also want to add\chapter*{Notation}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Notation}The second line adds "Notation" to TOC as another chapter.

<t>sam, I would be helpful if you were more specific when describing your problem. I my best guess is that you tried smth likeThis is main body\appendixThis is appendix... text textThe answer is that \appendix by itself does not generate any text. Use \chapter like this This is main body\appendix\ch...

<t>sam, what document class are you using? I just tried \documentclass{article}\begin{document} \begin{equation} \lim_{n \to \infty} 1/n =0 \end{equation}\end{document}and this gave me the lim with {n \to infty} beneath it, not on the side. Bear in mind, though, if you type $\lim_{n \to \infty} 1/n ...

islamic-finance.net that was mentioned earlier provides a wealth of information, but that can be a bit overwelming. For starters, I found HSBC's glossary on the subject very helpful.

<t>Please excuse my ignorance, is this the first time single stock futures are traded on a world-class financial market? The reason I'm asking is that both russian stock exchanges have been trading futures for some time. I'm keen to know how common are derivatives in less developed organized makets....

<t>QuoteI chose to install the medium sized version... is this sufficient for general mathematical articles (will it give me access to greek letters, mathematical notation, etc.). What do you recommend for a larger document, say a thesis or a small book?sam, even basic MiKTeX installation will be su...

<t>I would add my vote for MiKTeX .The DVI viewer that comes with it is quite convenient for viewing (integrates with your editor, is preconfigured for font generation) and is robust for printing. I tend to preview my work in DVI and make PDF only when I need to send them out. pdflatex+hyperref work...
