Congrats to all the guys that talked yesterday!I know some of them read this forum (like Aaron!). I was a little bit disappointed because I was expecting something totally different. When you announce people like Derman, Brown, Carr, etc. you expect to learn stuff. I left after an hour 1/2 because I had to but I was told that the first glimpse of equation came after 2hours. And it was the BS formula! With probably over 90% of PhDs/Master's in the room I think I wasnt the only one disappointed. I guess it was just a networking event to get quants to get together. Am I the only one?

Unfortunately I had to miss the event; with the holiday, it became a complicated week for travel.eman was kind enough to post his talk and slides for those who missed it. Perhaps some of the other speakers will do the same.Emanuel Derman's Blog

A very nice talk -- thanks for the link.

Good talk. I always enjoy an expert talking about as aspect of something "basic" as they penetrate to the root of a problem help us poor people understand it much better. Feynman is an excellent example of that, as is Martin Gardner.
