Sage Finance and Quantitative Analytics

Quantative Finance is a great area for Sage:

  • Sage includes much of the underlying infrastructure needed to do Quantative Financial Analysis
  • Quantative Finance stresses areas not heavily used currently by the Sage Community
    • Signal Processing
    • Statistics
    • Parallel Computing
  • Finance is important

Sage provides a vehicle for the somewhat opaque world of Finance to be presented in a natural way to mathematicians, scientists and engineers. The efforts we're undertaking in this area include:

  • Educational Materials wherein notebooks usable by educators and those wishing to self educate can learn finance and economics using an approach devoid of unnecessary ambiguity typically associated with the area
  • Infrastructure to provide live and historical market data for economic, financial, and market analysis
  • Implementation of the latest published techniques using numeric and symbolic analysis which should minimize the effort necessary to make contributions
  • Dispelling commonly held myths and untruths by exposing the mathematical underpinnings of finance enabling a wider community to make useful contributions and be in a better position to manage personal finances

"...the U.S. government is, indeed, bankrupt, insofar as it will be unable to pay its creditors, who, in this context, are current and future generations to whom it has explicitly or implicitly promised future net payments of various kinds..." 
--Professor L. Kotlikoff, for the U. S. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. (July, 2006)
