Firms of all types — but especially financial institutions, investment banks, and commodities firms — rely on highly sophisticated mathematical models to identify, measure and manage risk. The advent of these models triggered the emergence of a new discipline, Mathematical Finance.  This discipline, sometimes also referred to as financial engineering, computational finance or quantitative finance, requires professionals with extensive skills in both finance and mathematics.
