It has been a while since the last update. Has a lot on my mind right now, and I am trying to come up with a feasible plan for the gap semester (modifications are expected as time goes on)：
1. Understand the basics of stock market (be familiar with jargon). If time allowed, try to step a little more into some security analysis, or black-schole option model.
Books: Investment and Security analysis by Graham.
if prepared well, try to open an trading account as soon as possible.
Also, if possible, try to take some econ or fin courses on campus that will help.
2. Try to attend and learn the following courses next semester:Math 561(together with the fifty probability problems) and CS 576 (Haskell training) and CS 498. Continuing reading papers in mendeley and try to explore as many interesting areas of study as possible (Keep notes taking in Linuxmint).
3. Figure out how to maximize my academic fun while social or financial obstruction is minimized.
Book list (keep updating):
My life as a quant
Probability theory: the logic of science
Investment
