£1k p/w??? How on earth does LSE expect to get away with this?

<t>QuoteOn average, the French students were the best. They know their shit. Period. Agreed! The french have a very rigorous preparatory system in mathematics, when they come over to england to do a taught maths course the chances are they have done a great deal of it already, they are also very pre...

<t>hk pay seems to be pretty good from what I gather, know a friend who finished his mba and got placed with a fortune 100 company with base of 85k GBP + accommodation + bonus, that's a very high starting salary by any country's standard. Not too sure about trading, but if you work for one of the to...

<t>if we were to talk about the likes of Newton and Einstein who by the way are not strictly speaking mathematicans, then what about Euler? all his greatest mathematical break throughs happened after year 1727 (the year he aged 20), there are countless number of others. surely there will come an age...

<r>I wasn't questioning anyone's academic ability, apologies if it came across that way. In fact I have reason to believe that the exam pass rate from that course is higher than the average of other oxford maths degrees, people are paying a lot of money after all! I was just saying the course tries ...

unless you are from a decent french grande ecole that has drilled you dead on analysis, probability and stochastics, you will be in for a tough time. That 9 months of your life will be gone my friend. But good luck and enjoy oxford, it's a good place.

<r>More bad news to come from the IBs-- this time is something called Variable Interest Entities (VIE) which may trigger a further $88 billion loss for the industry.<URL url="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=alExwdst38cQ&refer=homejust"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.bloomber...

I would spend some time on statistics and probability as well depends on how much knowledge you already have. You will definitely get asked on that

<t>I thought you've already done real analysis? Oh well -- real analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, numerical analysis, ODE, PDE theories are all important, when you start your applied maths programme you will see the connections between them, you are in the best position yourself to decide ...

<t>Thanks Panang for the tip.they were dishing out distinctions to strand C people? that'd be good news. I was told by the course organizer that last year 24 people started the course only 16 graduated, and no-one managed a distinction, that scared us right off! Maybe they just had a bad year last y...

<t>Thanks all of you guys for your replies, I really appreciate it!Panang: You finished your dissertation 3 months early? Your determination really deserves respect!

<t>Agreed internship is a good way in, it's a shame that my course does not finish until september by which time it's too late for most of the internships in the UK.DCFC, would you say there is a decline in quant recruitment activities across the street given now that the banks are likely to focus m...

<t>Hi, I'm a msc student reading applied maths at Oxford and will graduate late summer next year, so I need to think about my exit options pretty soon. I'd like to get into a structuring role with an i bank somewhere, does anyone think it is worth a while at all to apply through those i banks' onlin...
