This is a Lot Less Obvious Than it Seems; Maths

The main point in this month�s column: Some of the things we take for granted and work with every day are not as obvious as we have come to think they are. I started out with a list of quantitative finance cases but discovered that pure maths examples could easily fill a column. So, maths now, quantitative finance later.

Abstract

The main point in this month�s column: Some of the things we take for granted and work with every day are not as obvious as we have come to think they are. I started out with a list of quantitative finance cases but discovered that pure maths examples could easily fill a column. So, maths now, quantitative finance later.
