Why no American students in financial math programs?

<p>ok, my bad. One American at Stanford, from the profile, <a href=“http://finmath.stanford.edu/admissions/studentprofile.html:[/url]”>http://finmath.stanford.edu/admissions/studentprofile.html:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>U.S.: 1 student</p>

<p>International: 12 students
Asia: 9 (China: 7; Hong Kong 1; Singapore: 1)
Europe: 2 (France: 1; Germany: 1)
North America: 1 (Canada)</p>

<p>I guess the number above excludes the co-terms.</p>
