From Tossing Coins to Predicting Stock Prices
The Mathematics of a Coin Toss A coin is a very interesting item. This is because its intriguing aspect truly lies with its use in probability, rather than it’s function as a monetary item. Coins are widely used as a tool to aid in randomly selecting between two...
What is a Forward Contract?
A forward contract is a binding agreement between two parties to trade an asset with an agreed upon price at a set time. Its opposite is a spot contract which is a trade agreement that occurs almost instantaneously, there and then. No money is exchanged during...

Applied Numerical Methods: Part 1
Disclaimer: This article series recommends the use of Matlab. If you do not have access to Matlab, then I would recommend using Octave which is an open source alternative with almost completely similar syntax. You may use this online version https://octave-online.net....
Introduction to Quantitative Modeling Series: Part One
A WORD I am excited to introduce you to the structure of our introduction. I will explain all the necessary vocabulary and all the processes relevant to quantitative modeling. Then, from what we’ve learnt, we will build a mathematical model together. WHAT IS...

Chaos in One Innocent Equation
What is chaos? It is a seemingly random behavior exhibited in a system, with sensitive dependence on initial conditions. What we mean by ‘seemingly random’, is that this behavior is very unpredictable — so much so that it may appear random. This random appearance is...
A Brief Primer on Discrete Mathematics
This primer is by no means exhaustive of the subject. Treat it as what you’d learn before you’re fully introduced to the subject. I hope this brief primer on Discrete Mathematics will be of some use to you. This subject is extremely useful in describing objects and...
