I will try and explain some practical issues that occur when using
mathematics in finance. I will focus mostly on the Black-Scholes model
and time series predictions. I will try and do this in an informal
manner. Time permitting, I will try to defend the field of
quantitative analysis from the charge that it caused all the economic
problems associated with the economic downturn. I may even have a few
kind words for high frequency trading. This talk will be an attempt by
the speaker to reconcile his love of mathematics with his love of
trading and discuss some avenues in which the two disciplines meet.
