Financial mathematics and financial engineering seem to have some similarities and differences. How to distinguish the differences between the two majors and collect the basic knowledge of the application for mutual transfer between the two majors. By definition, the concept of financial engineering has two kinds: narrow sense and broad sense. Narrow financial engineering mainly refers to the use of advanced mathematics and communication tools, on the basis of existing basic financial products, to carry out different forms of combination decomposition, in order to design new financial products that meet customer needs and have specific profit and loss characteristics. Financial engineering in a broad sense refers to all technological developments that use engineering means to solve financial problems. It includes not only financial product design, but also financial product pricing, trading strategy design, financial risk management and other aspects. It is not difficult to see that metalworking emphasizes strong quantitative analysis ability, so the requirements for applicants are relatively high.

First of all, it is of course very advantageous for students majoring in mathematics or metalworking. After all, there are not many schools offering this major in China. However, we still can't take it lightly, but we still have to ensure: 1. The basic condition for maintaining the score of professional courses at 80+ 2. Prepare IELTS and TOEFL as soon as possible, such as taking a good exam in junior year (note that IELTS is valid for two years) 3. Those who have time and energy still have to take the GRE, especially those who have the conditions and ideas to apply for world famous schools.

Then apply for a transfer to a professional army. There will always be students asking the teacher if I can apply for gold content. What kind of students can transfer: 1. The best is students with strong mathematical ability in science and engineering, such as students with undergraduate background in mathematics, physics, computer and EE. Analysis: Generally speaking, students of these majors have received a lot of training in mathematics and computer, and have the ability of data analysis. Although they lack basic financial knowledge, it doesn't affect them, because many Commonwealth schools offer the most basic financial courses for students who haven't studied the basics. 2. Students who have studied finance and mathematics for more than four courses, and the average score of such courses is above 85 points, if they have no chance to take the GRE, they should take the GRE quickly, and suggest 325+. Analysis: Only with the knowledge of finance, macroeconomics, microeconomics and management, it is basically difficult to apply for gold and metalworking. Even if you are lucky, it will be very difficult to apply for the study period. If you don't believe me, just look at the course of financial mathematics in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

After reading it, is it stressful for children with average math scores? If you have no confidence and ability, don't force yourself. There is still a difference between mathematics and economic management courses. In other words, some things are only useful if there is enthusiasm.

I have the most basic conditions. How can I further improve myself?

1. Most importantly, the suggestions that there are not many math classes can be supplemented by other ways, such as the second major minor between our own school alliances and online courses in American schools.

2. If you already have a strong mathematical ability and have time to attend summer school during the summer vacation, the curriculum should be related to metalworking and mathematics.

3. Prepare 1 to two valuable internships.

4. Cherish the resources around you and publish papers (preferably in national core journals).

Finally, I recommend some schools in Commonwealth countries:

1.HKUST

Master of Financial Mathematics 1.5 years

2. University College London

Master of Science in Financial Systems Engineering

3. University of Manchester

Master of Science in Mathematics, Finance and Finance Mathematics
