MBA Quant Experience

I'll start with some of my thoughts about students' experience of the quantitative demands of the first-year MBA curriculum.  This is the mental landscape that motivates and orients my MBA Math work in the classroom and on www.mbamath.com.  My hope is that laying these ideas out and then asking for perspectives from other faculty, administrators, as well as enrolled, admitted, and prospective MBA students will help me to broaden my views, resulting in improved live and online teaching.

Here's my list:

1. Getting In is the First Foothill, Not the Mountain
2. Protect Your Investment by Arriving Prepared
3. Know Thyself: Confidence is King
4. Summer Before B-School is Chaotic
5. "Knowing About" Is Not "Knowing How"
6. Bankers, Engineers, and CPAs, Oh My!
7. (Limited) Time is of the Essence
8. Quant Struggles are Emotional

I'll expand on each of these themes in subsequent posts.
