Em tính học SQL, SAS và sharepoint. Nhưng em đọc ở trong diễn đàn này thì mọi người nói học C++ sẽ tốt hơn. Tại vì em không đi theo ngành programmer system nên em không hiểu học C++ để làm gì. Theo anh thì nên học ngôn ngữ nào là tốt nhất cho quant. em thì hiện đang tự học SQL rồi sau đó sẽ học tiếp đến sas và sharepoint.
Cảm ơn anh.

Hi chào anh.
Em đang học năm cuối của high school. hiện em đã hoàn tất calculus 3 vì vậy em sẽ không phải học bất kỳ môn toán nào trong 2 năm đầu ở university. Trong thời gian này em đang suy nghĩ nên học một ngôn ngữ lập trình nào. Em nhắm đi theo con đường quantitative analyst chứ không phải programmer.

Hey Andy, is there's a reason why you don't have a dedicated forum for Stanford MSFM? I know it's a bit late considering the decisions are already out, but I was wondering why the omission?

Hello. I'm an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student. I scored a 1220 on my GRE (Quant: 750 & Verbal: 470). I want to apply for the Master in Mathematical Finance program at NCSU and similar other programs in Finance at various other universities. Is my score good enough to apply for these programs or should I take the GRE once again? Does work experience help in any way during application?

Andy - I've noticed a few posts from you on gambling and the application of quantitative strategies. Is that an area of focus/interest to you?
