Matlab in Finance

I will probably be attending.

"Please join us for a free MathWorks seminar:
“Using MATLAB to Develop and Deploy Financial Models”

Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2004
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Location: Hyatt Regency, Chicago, IL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finance professionals worldwide use MATLAB and other MathWorks tools to conduct research, rapidly
prototype algorithms, and develop financial models for deployment to decision makers such as
actuaries, investment managers, and traders. Learn how you can reduce your computing time and
complement your existing Excel models by using MATLAB.

MathWorks engineers will demonstrate MATLAB and show how you can:

- Choose and apply the optimal modeling techniques for your analysis

- Develop your models and prototype applications quickly and accurately

- Create generated binary files from your MATLAB code

- Test and refine your analytics

- Integrate algorithms into Java and other existing applications

- Use Visual Basic and Excel to access powerful MATLAB functionality


View the agenda and register at www.mathworks.com/seminars/fma or call 978-659-6104.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

matlab is a great quantitative platfrom, no question. anybody serious about this might also want to check out Mathematica. yes, it's stoopid expensive, but imo it is much more naturally suited to the kinds of things quants-in-training are likely to trying.
 
Quote from brokershopping:

Tell 'em they need to make the resolution of their "time-series objects" finer than one minute :-)
Will do. I do not know much about it that is why I am going.

Damir, could you elaborate on this? Thanks.

Here is a point-by-point comparison of Matlab, Mathematica and others:

Comments: This is from 1997. Anyone know of a more recent comparison? Mathematica includes somewhat more functions than Matlab. Matlab's average performance was tested to be 5 times better than Mathematical for various numerical operations. While I haven't used Mathematica, I can testify that Matlab has seen tremendous improvements in computational performance since 1997. Some vector operations are now as fast as their hand-optimized C equivalents.

This shows the differences in language between Mathematica and Matlab for some of the basics:

Quote from prophet:

Since this is a free event could you bring a DAT/MP3 recorder and send us an MP3?
You mean a sound recording of the talk - no video?

nitro
 
Sound recording would be the least intrusive... best chance of success. Of course it would be great if you could capture video or still shots too.
