The LiveJournal of Quantitative Analysis
Name:Quantitative Analysis Community
About:A forum for discussion of issues relating to quantitative analysis in finance. By this I mean the application of stochastic calculus and pdes to solving option pricing problems. The references below will give some flavour for the interests of the community.
