Indian Rupee: Dec 2004: around 44/$ Feb 2008: around 38/$ Oct 2008: 50/$ I had to correct my assumption that foreign exchange markets are not very volatile.

Over the last few days, whenever the DJ has been down, the two most affected sectors have been the financial and energy. I can comprehend about the financial sector. What about energy ? Why isnt it being talked about too much ? Is it all lost amidst the credit crisis ? Or do I overlook a lot...

I believe the personal statement carries a lot of weight. You should be writing in your strengths, your passion, why is it that you want to be here and why you chose it to be. Its pretty much like an answer in an interview with all the questions assumed. Though the definitions might be vague...

I dont know when did they shut down but this was the status 1.25 years ago

Strangely enough, when I was searching for programs to apply for Financial Engineering their website said that they had shut down the program as they werent getting enough students. Totally unexpected, but it did say that !!

I am sure I did the 64 bit thing. I installed Mcafee and it works perfectly fine. Though I have no issues with the Antivirus now, it would be nice to know if someone faced the same problem and how he/she solved it.

When i download Symantec AntiVirus for 64 bit platform it gives me the following error. " This installation package is not supported by this processor type - contact the vendor. " Does anyone have any idea about how to get around with this problem ?

I am a little impatient and was wondering if any one could write "right people" an email on everyone's behalf. I have no problem doing that. If everyone agrees to it ;)

We had some other cameras too.... what about pictures from them ??

So the next question that comes to my mind is Is the error accidental or intentional ? (If at all there is an error)

Are LIBOR rates calculated solely based on some mathematical equations or are based on demand and supply ? What I am trying to understand is, Whether there are faulty models which model these rates or there are people who dont let the real numbers out (due to any reasons)

It is interesting to think, how many would change their normal checkings account or salary accounts to either of these banks.

By any chance, is anyone going to be first at the college and then to central park ? Or does college come in anyone's way while driving to central park ? I would be glad if we could go together.

Just wondering if people who could play musical instruments could bring and play for us. (guitar(muting), violin, flute, saxophone (Shuwen) etc. etc.) Dont know how feasible and great is this idea, just thought of it ;)

生日快乐静音！ 拥有美好的未来的一年

I could not track the markets late night, could you give in the link where events for yesterday are quoted. I couldnt find anywhere written that trading at BSE was halted yesterday.

This is chart for september 18 2008 - BSE Sensex I find these kind of charts rather unnatural. I would appreciate if some technical analysts could explain what happened between 11:20 and 1:20 pm.

Hang Seng - (-1311) 7.43% BSE Sensex - (-660) 5% Nikkei- (-440) 3.75 I am wondering, if the Asian markets are over reacting. Or infact how much of this can be seen as speculation ? Or are there traders who are shorting stocks to extent that the stock prices go almost zero ? Is the...

Ohh I never knew we could play that way too, interesting. Would surely try it on saturday :)

I just have no words what to say !! doom doom doom !!!:-ss I think this is the next generation hiring formula.

Thats what I was wondering.

I am wondering that such mergers would infact threaten the existence of investment banking. Once merged the parent banks would be more wary about the activities and put more regulations or restrictions on trades of the company. Just imagining, will this not reduce the liquidity in market ? I...

I have played a lot of this. I hope the science is the same but looks are different :)

Well if you check out other things, we are at top. Just try to go one directory back and you would have list of other parameters.

U.S. News & World Report Rates Baruch College Among Top in Nation US News has the following in its report. =D> :dance:

I can help with unloading stuff.

I wonder why not ask a faculty in the department. I mean you are at the school everyday. Just take some time out and go to the department. I am sure they would say you for certain what are your chances.

Heyyy happy birthday !! Dont worry !! the older the wiser ;). I hope by now you would have figured it out not to invest in Lehman Bros. Enjoy the day :) p.s. I hope as the return gift you are not going to give any homework this monday ;)

Hope we hear something about it in today's class.

Well, with only one comment. What you do is not just for a paycheck.

Count me in for any of the dates. Also, I am there if any help is needed to organize or anything else...

Thanks for your input :)

While going through this article about inflation claims and the fact we are studying correlations and principal component analysis, I was wondering if one could precisely estimate the effect of china or of any country on world economy. How much the inflation in developed countries like US could...

I am sure that people would say you "We do not evaluate profiles". Just one suggestion while I had a quick look at your profile. Get 800 on Quant GRE.

I am not sure how many are going to be there at the bar. But the conversation is interesting enough to grab 233 views. :) Cheers Guys :)

I am giving away mine(India) for free. You can take it :) And the best part is, it can be replicated by anyone :)

Or you could assign weights to medals :D Number of drinks = 3*Gold + 2* Silver + 1*Bronze And if you really want to get drunk you could invert the weights. That might be dynamic though. You could change your position as in Dynamic Hedging :D

No, I am sure I am not going to change it :) On a second thought, I am very sure :D

No wonder, (O(n) + O(n) = O(n) ) :) So dont worry about the coefficient :)

Though I dont drink, I was tempted to ask a question. "A drink or two". Are you sure about the number ? ;)

The internet is filled with such tests. Though you might not really want to take those kinda tests which are too hard or too easy. You might want to download it from somewhere. would not really like to use the word "torrent" out here :)

In that case you can go on with TURBO C++ Compiler.

Go through Barrons pretty well. I think the quant section needs presence of mind and concentration. The point is, the questions are too simple and you tend to get sloppy at times. I would recommend you to crack 800 on Quant. For verbal, aim at more than 650. Then you might get near to 600...

Is it a good place to ask for temp accommodation and pickups ??

Thanks Vladimir :) I would surely do that

Oh I am sorry, that was a typo, the second one was "odd".

n : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 f(n) : 3, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 3, 5, 11, 7, ? Here it goes, for n=1 -- f(n) + f(n+1) = 5, so the 5th number from nth digit is f(n)th prime number here f(n) = 3 f(n+1) = 2 5th number in sequence will be the 3rd prime...

For 3, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 3, 5, 11, 7, ? Is the answer 5 ? Well all the answers have an idiosyncratic logic. Hope it works ;)

For 252,140,70,30,10,2. the next four terms: 28,0,-10,-10 Am I thinking correct ?

I think for the third one the ans is 1,1,1 I will have to give the rest of them a thought.

Well, searching through the forums i gathered books for linear algebra, calculus and probability. though the search was not exhaustive i think this should be enough to start. I would request the experienced people around to tell which book to start of with in the particular subject. also...
