About the Authors
The authors have over 30 years of experience working with the students of the Baruch College Financial Engineering Masters Program who have consistently been successful interviewing for quant type positions in the New York job market, with over 90% placement every year, including through the challenging 2008-2009 years.
Ivan Matic has been on the faculty of the Baruch MFE Program since 2013, teaching pre-program and graduate courses in probability, stochastic calculus, and interest rate models. His research areas include probability, partial differential equations, finance, and computer science. He has a Ph.D. in mathematics from UC Berkeley and taught previously at Duke University.
Rados Radoicic has been on the faculty of the Baruch MFE Program since 2006, teaching graduate courses on financial instruments, econometrics, and statistics, as well as pre-program courses on advanced calculus with financial applications. He has done extensive research in volatility and rough volatility modeling, discrete and computational geometry, extremal combinatorics, and graph theory. He has a BS and a PhD in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dan Stefanica has been the Director of the Baruch MFE Program since its inception in 2002, and is the author of the best-selling A Primer For The Mathematics Of Financial Engineering, now in its second edition. He teaches graduate courses on numerical methods for financial engineering, as well as pre-program courses on advanced calculus and numerical linear algebra with financial applications. His research spans numerical analysis, graph theory, and geophysical fluid dynamics. He has a PhD in mathematics from New York University and taught previously at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
