Quantitative finance now on Stack Exchange

February 10, 2011

The site is http://quant.stackexchange.com/

A new area has emerged in Stack Exchange for Quantitative Finance (in trying to spell that I now know why it is usually just “quant”).  It has been in private beta for a few weeks and has become public in the last few days.

Already it has reasonable traffic.  I predict it will be a popular and very useful site.

Currently the questions are nicely balanced across how I tend to divide quant:

  • equities
  • fixed income
  • options
  • forex

None of these areas dominates, and they are all represented.

Oh yes, many of the questions and answers are quite engaging.

If you haven’t experienced Stack Exchange,  it is probably worth joining in just to see how it works.  It’s an interesting and seemingly effective experiment in social organization.
