New Substack, Expanding the blog

Away from this blog for several months now, and I'm leaving. Here's the truth - I'm not really leaving blogging. I just won't be on Blogger as much anymore though. I'm going to be focused on building my Substack presence from now on, and let's see where that goes. I've got several thousands of views on here, and if you've been following me here, I really appreciate you. 

I'll likely be expanding to a much bigger platform on Substack where there's more SEO and where I can express a lot more of my views that are a lot to do with technology. This started simply as a project for me to write about math and things similar, but I want to make this more. I'm building a company at this moment, and I want to talk about things related to that. 

You'll get a lot of the original content as well, but I really want to write about a lot more things, put a lot of my thoughts and my opinions in, and yeah I really really thank everyone that's been with me for a bit over two years, maybe two and a half - and I hope you love what I'm building on Substack. Follow me here. 


- Love,

Shikhar.

1001.0: The Mathematics of Quantitative Finance - Part 1

Image
 Hi! Welcome to this 3-part series on the mathematics behind quantitative finance! Took a while to return, but I'm done with IB exams now (well... since mid-May, really. But I've been on holiday or busy on and off since). Anyways, this part of the series will cover: Introduction to Quantitative Finance   Fundamental Mathematics in Quantitative Finance   Financial Instruments and Markets    Rest in Peace to  Jim Simons , whom this series is dedicated to. Jim Simons, founder of Renaissance Technologies and Father of Modern Quantitative Finance Introduction to Quantitative Finance Overview of Quantitative Finance Quantitative finance is a field that uses mathematical models, statistical techniques, and computational tools to understand and solve financial problems. It plays a crucial role in the financial industry by providing methods for pricing complex securities, managing risk, and optimizing portfolios. Quantitative finance integrates a...

111: Begin the New Year with... an Introduction to the Poincaré Conjecture! (Pure Mathematics)

Image
 Hey! It's been a minute since I wrote one of these, so I'm genuinely glad to be back. Happy New Year! I should be more regular now because I'm done with all university applications and I'm relatively free (as free as you can be by year 12). Today I'll be jabbering on a bit about the Poincaré Conjecture, one of the most special (solved) problems in mathematics. The Poincaré Conjecture Image Credit: Clay Mathematics Institute The Poincaré Conjecture is a fundamental problem in the branch of topology, best known as one of the 7 Millennium Prize Problems of the Clay Mathematics Institute. It was one of the most famous and long-standing unsolved problems in the history of mathematics until it was finally proven in 2003 by the Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman. Perelman's proof was a monumental achievement and earned him the Fields Medal and 1 million US Dollars (from the Clay Mathematics Institute) - both of which he declined (which I'll return to later). H...

101: Everything You Need to Know About Lagrangian Mechanics (Mathematical Physics and Classical Mechanics)

Image
Lagrangian mechanics is a powerful mathematical framework that provides a systematic and elegant approach to understanding the dynamics of physical systems. Developed by Joseph-Louis Lagrange in the late 18th century, it offers an alternative formulation to Newton's laws of motion, providing deeper insights into the fundamental principles governing the behaviour of objects. In this post, we will embark on a comprehensive journey into the realm of Lagrangian mechanics, covering its principles, applications, and significance in the field of physics. Joseph Louis Lagrange Image Credit: Encyclopaedia Britannica The Lagrangian Formulation: At the heart of Lagrangian mechanics lies the concept of the Lagrangian, denoted by L. The Lagrangian is a mathematical function that encapsulates the kinetic and potential energies of a system (KE-PE), providing a comprehensive description of its dynamics. By defining the Lagrangian, we can derive the equations of motion for a system using the princi...
