What should I expect from a master's in qunatitiative finance?
Hi guys, to those of you who have taken courses in quantitative finance, I have heard they are considered heavy math.
If I am currently taking Cal 1, and I will be taking Cal 2 and 3, should I expect heavier math than these courses? If I am doing well in these courses, should I be doing well in a quant. program?
Thank you!

In my personal experience, QF has a few areas where it can get difficult. Honestly, in a lot of schools, you can skip Calc 1 and 2 with a 5 on AP Calc. Usually, depending on which professor, calculus can be extremely easy to decent classes. But, the nature of the material taught in intro calc courses aren't that complicated.
For QF, you need a solid understanding of PDEs, linear algebra, prob/stats, and stochastic calc. It's also helpful to know how to code to do time series analysis and running simulations
