<p>Ive decided that a major in finance is just not for me because of the dry nature of the stuff i would be taught..im more of a quant guy who finds joy in the mathematical concepts and applications of finance. I was wondering if anyone has a list of some of the top schools with a financial mathematics trek in the math department.
Thank You</p>
<p>i'm not sure if there is a mathematical trek for finance. finance is largely application based and is just a business major. finance math is very easy generally speaking. if you like math but would like to apply it to business i would suggest the following disciplines:</p>
<p>industrial engineering
statistics
actuarial science
economics ( i know that NW has a great mathematical route for this).</p>
<p>Finance Mathematics is easy? Measure THeory based probability didn't seem very easy. Stochastic Differential Equations isn't "easy" either. Nor are Stochastic Processes or Ito Calculus etc etc etc.</p>
<p>I know for sure that UVA and Umich have a finmath track for ug.</p>
<p>CMU has a major in computational finance in the math department. Also, their finance concentration in the business school is very quantitative.</p>
<p>haitham, i lost your number, can you give it to me again. email me at <a href="mailto:mencheng@sas.upenn.edu">mencheng@sas.upenn.edu</a></p>
<p>i meant the mathematics involved if your a typical finance major.</p>
