Complex Analysis & Complex Numbers in Finance, Trading & Investing

Complex analysis is a branch of mathematics focusing on functions of complex numbers. Complex numbers, blending real and imaginary parts, are important because they allow us to solve equations (x^2 = -1) that can’t be solved with just real numbers, which expands our understanding and capabilities in various fields (e.g., finance, machine learning, quant trading). […]

AGI in Finance, Markets & Trading

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in the context of finance, markets, and trading refers to the development of AI systems that possess the ability to understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a wide range of financial activities in a manner similar or better to human intelligence. AGI would differ significantly from the current state of AI, […]
