SMU Quantitative Finance Society (Q.E.D) Details
Formed in August 2006 in conjunction with the launch of the undergraduate Quantitative Finance Programme at Singapore Management University (SMU), Q.E.D. Quantitative Finance Society is a student-run society. Our objectives include inculcating a sense of belonging among Quantitative Finance majors, as well as promoting the knowledge of financial engineering and computational finance to interested members of the University.Q.E.D. stands for "Quod Erat Demonstrandum," a Latin phrase commonly used at the end of a mathematical proof, to claim that a proposition has been definitely proven, or Quite Easily Derived.Our core business lies in organising seminars and talks by industry professionals, special projects that seek to raise the awareness of quantitative finance, and networking sessions that offer opportunities for students to meet up with industry leaders. We have organised seminars by Dr Paul Wilmott, a prolific and world-renowned author of the Wilmott Series of Quantitative Finance books, senior industry leaders from companies such as the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC), as well as a host of other computing workshops aimed at offering SMU students a glimpse into computer programming with financial applications. Our activities provide a real value add for all Quantitative Finance majors.Quantitative Finance, as an academic discipline, is a burgeoning field with exciting opportunities. We hope that as a student society promoting the spread of this new field of study, we can provide an enriching, refreshing, and rewarding experience for all interested students.
