101. INI Programme FIN A 6-month research programme at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, January to June, 1995. http://www.newton.ac.uk/programmes/FIN/

Institute INI Home Programmes Web Seminars Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences Financial Mathematics 1 January - 30 June 1995 Organisers : MHA Davis ( Imperial ), SD Hodges ( Warwick ), I Karatzas ( Columbia ), LCG Rogers ( Bath Programme theme The programme will comprise visits by many leading academics from the various subjects nowadays involved in the theory and practice of finance, and visits by interested practitioners. There will be two full-scale meetings during the 6 months, the first (supported by the EC) at the beginning of January, designed to introduce themes from mathematical finance to those who have not previously specialised in it, and the second (supported by the Bank of England) in May-June, to present recent developments in the subject. Besides this, there will be a practitioners' workshop at the end of March, and a range of one- or two-week special emphases on specific topics, where attention will be focused on specific problems. Running throughout the six months there will be seminar afternoons on Fridays, approximately once every fortnight. But the most unusual and exciting feature of the programmes at the Newton Institute is that for a prolonged period, many of the world's top people in the subject will be gathered together and interacting, discussing and hopefully solving problems, holding seminars, and generally advancing understanding of the whole area.

Contact Us The Nomura Centre for Mathematical Finance The Nomura Centre for Mathematical Finance was established in 2001 with the support of the Nomura Group, a leading global financial services group. It sits within the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, which is part of the Mathematical Institute Oxford University. Previously called the Nomura Centre for Quantitative Finance, the centre was renamed in 2007 to more accurately reflect the scope of its operations. The aim of the Nomura Centre is to promote research in mathematics and finance, with a special emphasis on approaches that combine practical relevance with mathematical interest. The Nomura Centre supports several academic posts including a Junior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow and Distinguished Visitor positions, and graduate students under the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council CASE Awards scheme. It also hosts an annual lecture on finance and supports a seminar series in mathematical finance.

103. Indispensability Arguments In The Philosophy Of Mathematics (Stanford Encycloped From the fact that mathematics is indispensable to science, some philosophers have drawn serious metaphysical conclusions. In particular, Quine and Putnam have argued that the indispensability of mathematics to empirical science gives us good reason to believe in the existence of mathematical entities. From the Stanford Encyclopedia. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mathphil-indis/

Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Indispensability Arguments in the Philosophy of Mathematics First published Mon Dec 21, 1998; substantive revision Tue Jan 15, 2008 One of the most intriguing features of mathematics is its applicability to empirical science. Every branch of science draws upon large and often diverse portions of mathematics, from the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics to the use of differential geometry in general relativity. It's not just the physical sciences that avail themselves of the services of mathematics either. Biology, for instance, makes extensive use of difference equations and statistics. The roles mathematics plays in these theories is also varied. Not only does mathematics help with empirical predictions, it allows elegant and economical statement of many theories. Indeed, so important is the language of mathematics to science, that it is hard to imagine how theories such as quantum mechanics and general relativity could even be stated without employing a substantial amount of mathematics. but this one is by far the most influential, and so in what follows I'll concentrate on it.
