As someone who has great enthusiasm for mathematics and a strong interest in financial modeling, I find myself drawn to Statistics above all other subjects. Additionally, my undergraduate study at Harbin Institute of Technology has provided me with a strong foundation in mathematics and economics, and I’ve also been able to develop my ability to apply statistical methodology through research experience on Prediction of Interest Rate Term Structure. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm, diligence, and cooperative spirit will make me an asset to MStat of the University of Hong Kong.
The Harbin Institute of Technology is in the “C9 League” (the top 9 universities in China), Chinese national “985 Project”and ”211 Project”universities, and my education in International Economics there has subsequently been among the highest quality in China. Additionally, as one of the best engineering universities in China, HIT places great focus upon the cultivation of mathematical ability and the development of an engineering mindset. This is reflected in many aspects of an education at HIT: HIT has higher standards for students in mathematics curricula, such as requiring mathematical analysis for engineering instead of merely calculus, and some course designs include calculation by programming, for instance, the calculation of implied volatility of option. Therefore, I have a sound base in mathematics and get ready to study in the program of statistics.
My interest in financial modeling and
Jonatan Frisendahl WHAP Ms. Rodriguez DBQ Both Rome and Han China’s government’s attitude toward technology varied. Some supported the thought of new and improved technology, while others thought lowly of it and didnt find a need of technology. Technology also affected the social and economic classes of Rome and Han China.
You have selected a course unlike any other math course. The purpose of this Summer Assignment is to:
As my transcripts reveal, I have taken substantial courses in both statistics and mathematics. Three years' painstaking study equipped me with a solid mathematical foundation and a deeper understanding of Statistics. I vividly recall the excitement of exchanging ideas with my peers and the achievement of solving questions independently. Moreover, sharing my passion, I helped some of my classmates for the preparation of final exams. I taught them the methods of regression analysis, the connection between stochastic processes and time series, and wide application of mathematical statistics, etc. Through teaching them, my devotion to Statistics became even deeper. In the final evaluation, I received scores above 90 in those statistical lessons. More importantly, my understanding was largely consolidated and
When being in sophomore year, I decided to double major in Statistics and Mathematics. Although the pressure from hectic coursework had never declined, I still persevered my academic performance in subjects. I achieved the outstanding student award in sophomore year and ranked always in 10 percent of the class. In addition, I used my time efficiently to promote my statistical ability such as attending in free lecture about statistical software—SAS and also got a certification of based programmer of SAS 9.
Technology has been around for not so long and in that short amount of time we have been able to do amazing things and advance the human race into the future. Such as getting us to the moon ,computers like never before seen, and now we have our own personal computer in the palm of our hands. Being able to be in a car and not have to drive it or even park it. Imagine living in a world that everything was being done by robots? Would it be better or worse ? socially & economically? if we automate everything we would be taking away all the things that make us human.
We all know technology is a good thing, right? Or is it? We can all come up with reasons why technology is helpful or appropriate like we can for a particular medicine. And while some drugs are really great to cure or prevent a disease, sometimes the side effects outweigh any possible benefit. The same is true with technology. Some common negative side effects of technology are kids playing on their phones instead of going outside to play or young people not interacting face-to-face as much as they used to. Parenting is an area that has suffered since the rise in technology, specifically with phone use.
In addition to my work as a manager, I have spent the past four years pursuing a Finance degree. I have always had a strong interest in working with numbers, which probably stems from my interest in sports statistics as a child. As a member of the Honors Program, UConn’s Finance curriculum has challenged me and broadened my academic horizons. I can confidently say that after graduating in May, I will walk away with a strong foundation in statistical modeling and data analysis that is applicable to a variety of career paths.
Finance is the appropriate area of study for me not only because of my enthusiasm for the material, but also because of how perfectly the coursework employs my aptitude for logical reasoning, organization, and mathematics. My placement in multivariable calculus serves as verification of my strength in mathematics. By employing my various skills and interests, the field of finance fully utilizes my potential, thereby yielding the most personal and academic success.
While attending Fudan University in China, I continued to challenge myself to maintain the number one ranked student in my major -- even after switching my major from Physics to Mathematics in the second year. Furthermore, my distinguished academic performance awarded me the privilege of being selected in the National Basic Science Talent Training Plan. Through this, I joined reading groups and read several graduate-level books such as Econometrics (Fumio Hayashi) independently. The intensive reading motivates me to explore methodologies in different branches of science, such as Econometrics, Statistics, and Mathematics. By the time I finish each topic, I had not only broadened my knowledge, but also acquired the ability to explain my ideas consistently and coherently.
Plush Packet Institute of Technology (PPIT) is a small private school grade 7 through 12, with a total number of students and school employees combined under 400 individuals. PPIT is currently operating in South Dakota, and is opening another location in New York State. Despite establishing an impressive information technology infrastructure for such small educational institution, PPIT does not have any kind of formal information technology policies. Despite never becoming a problem thus far, the management is concerned with complying with information security laws in the State of New York, and requires a compliance gaps analysis to aid in smooth sailing with the process of opening the new location in New York.
Students will begin spend the first two years studying mathematics along with introductory economics classing. Once a student reaches their junior year they will begin to take classes more specific towards actuarial work which include statistics, economics, and finances. Theoretical and analytical mathematics are studied during one’s senior year, as actuaries are required to interpret data more than they are required to do raw calculations (Joyce). Classes involving computer literacy must also be considered while studying as our 21st century world revolves more and more around the use of technology.
Later in the fall of 2014, I was enrolled as an exchange student at UC Berkeley. As I was eager to embrace different branches of science as well as strengthen my background with advanced knowledge, I challenged myself with some of the most difficult courses, including Applied Stochastic Process by Prof. Rhonda Righter. The course materials and problem sets were challenging, but I found it especially enjoyable to collaborate with my classmates, mostly first year Ph.D. students. My discussions with them did not always lead
Where would you be without industrial engineers? You probably do not even know what an Industrial engineer does. When the word engineer comes to mind, people just assume some guy sitting in an office doing a bunch of complicated equations day in and day out. Although that is not wrong, it is not true for industrial engineers. Industrial engineers are solving a new problem everyday in new and innovative ways. Industrial engineers are not a widely known career, but are a cornerstone to our workplaces. Industrial engineering both weighs into my strengths and minimizes my weaknesses making it the ideal career for me to pursue.

My interest in a quantitative field like finance and economics comes as no surprise, since Mathematics is one of my favorite subjects and my forte right from secondary school. The power of these subjects to cater to practical applications in the real-world setting led to my close involvement with them, which was also instrumental for my qualifying for the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad. For my undergraduate studies, I chose Mechanical Engineering over the other options, at one of the top universities for this discipline in my country, due to its significant quantitative content and for the possibility of applying those tools to solving complex problems, which I did. The rigorous pure math training spanning 3 semesters including topics in linear and vector algebra, multivariate calculus, differential
