    Economics and Finance Personal Statement
    Having a flair for Economics and accounting I have decided that I want a degree in Accounting and Finance or Management. The many brilliant representatives of the management community around the world have strengthened that resolve.
    When I worked in my school as a tutor of English as a Second Language for students from a community school in Muscat, I realized the importance of a strong leader who could organize, command respect, and be able to work well with others. These ideas were further enforced by my month long internship at Novartis Pharmaceutical (Accounts and Finance Department and Human Resources Department).
    I attended the Harvard Model Congress in Paris and won the Award of Distinction. One skill in particular that contributed to this award was my confident public speaking.
    The last 4 months have been crucial in my learning of real world business and economics. For my IB Extended Essay, titled “To What Extent Does Subway in Oman Operate as an Oligopoly”, I set out to prove the oligpolistic structure of the fast food market in Oman. In this effort, I have come across many real life complexities in pricing behaviour, profit making and other aspects of the Theory of the Firm. While attempting to explain these alternate theories of firms I have developed a keen interest in analyzing and understanding how the world of business works.
    After an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance or management I plan to go onto post graduate studies and work on an MBA. A strong performance in a BA will allow me to move onto an MBA and only then shall I be satisfied.
    For the last four years I have been part of our schools volleyball team ICE. We have retained our ISAC (Inter Schools Activities Conference, Middle East) title for four years. Playing in the power hitters (spiker) position requires immense physical fitness and to accomplish that I regularly go to the gym for fitness training. I am also part of my school track and field team. Being the fastest sprinter in the school since 11th grade the 100m, 200m and 400m races are my specialty even though I still pursue long distance running. In my spare time I explore and master the computer as I am conversant with a Visual Basic Programming course. It is imperative for me to have the latest hardware and software and I make it a point to install everything myself. I also learn Urdu as it is my native tongue and a link to my culture, to maintain that is crucial.
    Living in a diverse international community of over 52 nationalities has allowed to me recognize and appreciate different cultures. With the experience I have and the strong motivation to craft a bright future I feel I can justify my decision to pursue a career in Accounting and Finance or Management.
    申請專業(yè)：金融工程
    在我看來金融工程是一種創(chuàng)新、創(chuàng)造技術，一種對金融工具、金融手段和系統(tǒng)的創(chuàng)造和創(chuàng)新技術，一種平衡收益和風險的技術.它包含了數(shù)學,計算機,金融方面的知識,是一門充滿了趣味的交叉學科,而數(shù)學知識和數(shù)學模型是這個學科中必不可少的核心內容：馬科維茨的投資組合選擇理論，夏普的資本資產定價模型，Black-Scholes的期權定價模型以及考克斯等人的“二項式”模型正是這種核心地位的體現(xiàn)。
    In my opinion, the Financial Engineering is a kind of creative technology to the Financial Instruments, Financial Means and system. It used to balance the benefits and venture as an interesting interdisciplinary subject. It covers many fields such as mathematics, computer science and finance, in which the mathematics and mathematical modeling are the two main aspects of the Financial Engineering. The Investment Portfolio Theory of Markowitz, the capital asset pricing model of the Sharp, Option Pricing Model of Black-Scholes and “Binomial” model of Cox can best reflect the critical position of the two subjects.
    我有幸選擇了數(shù)學與應用數(shù)學這個專業(yè)，在三年和它的接觸了解中，使我對數(shù)學，尤其對數(shù)學建模有了較深的理解和體會。(記得第一次去聽清華大學XX系姜啟源教授的講座,他在講座上舉了一個“現(xiàn)實生活中的數(shù)學”例子：“1公斤面, 1公斤餡, 包100個餃子;若餡比 1公斤多, 應多包幾個, 還是少包幾個呢? ” 是這個生動、形象、富于生活氣息的包餃子問題把我領進了數(shù)學建模的世界。)
    I am glad to choose mathematics and applied mathematics. Three years’ study had deepened my understanding of them, especially of mathematical modeling. (It still occurs to me when I went to attend the class of XX department given by Professor Jiang qiyuan in Tsinghua University for the first time. “1 kilogram of flour added with 1 kilogram of stuffing can make 100 dumplings, but what if the stuffing is more than 1 kilogram?” He used a very simple, vivid and interesting example which aroused my interest and led me into the mathematical modeling world.
    第一次和數(shù)學建模親密接觸是在05年的暑假，我有幸參加了學校組織的數(shù)學建模培訓。經驗豐富的數(shù)學老師們通過實實在在的例子告訴我們什么是數(shù)學建模。給我印象最深的是一個關于SARS的例子：2003年，SARS爆發(fā)并在世界范圍內傳播，嚴重影響到我國經濟發(fā)展和人民生活，定量的研究SARS的傳播規(guī)律并建立數(shù)學模型預測和控制傳染病蔓延成為數(shù)學工作者必須解決的問題……于是Logistic回歸便成為我永恒的記憶。為期2周的數(shù)學建模培訓，給我留下的不僅是一個個經典的數(shù)學模型，更重要的是一份澎湃的激情和一份冷靜的思考：數(shù)學和數(shù)學建模是人類的守護神，因為有了她的存在，人類的生存和發(fā)展才有條不紊的繼續(xù)著;那么當SARS病毒肆無忌憚時，當AIDS病毒肆意侵蝕人們肉體時，一個熱愛數(shù)學、熱愛數(shù)學建模，更加熱愛生命的人能夠做些什么?
    The first time I kissed the mathematical modeling was in the summer vacation of 2005, when I got a good opportunity to attend the mathematical modeling training organized by our school. Seasoned mathematics teachers told me what on earth the mathematical modeling is through some existing examples, in which the one about SARS impressed me most. In 2003, SARS broke out and shrouded rapidly to the whole world, which imperiled our economic development and people’s living. Therefore, study on its spreading regularity and building the mathematical modeling for predicting and controlling its extension had become the “Archimedes Heels” for all mathematicians… So, the Logistic regression has been carved in my memory. Two weeks’ training has presented me with a kind of passion and calm thinking much more than just those classical mathematical models. As the patron saint of our human-beings, the existence of Mathematics and mathematical modeling are maintaining our subsistence and development. Then, when SARS ran riot, when we are suffering from the pain of AIDS, what can I do as a mathematics and mathematical modeling lover who loves life so much?
    懷著這份激情和思考，在大二的秋天，我第一次嘗試了運用數(shù)學建模的知識去解決實際問題，我和另外兩名隊員代表學校參加了全國大學生數(shù)學建模比賽。比賽要求結合數(shù)據(jù)對長江水質做出定量評價，分析各地區(qū)的水質污染;并對未來長江水質污染發(fā)展趨勢做出預測分析，制定污水處理計劃。長達17頁的數(shù)據(jù)和多個評價指標對我們來說著實是個挑戰(zhàn)!究竟應該選擇哪些數(shù)據(jù)?怎樣綜合考慮多個指標?我們嘗試了近一天，推翻了以前建立的種種模型，有好幾次都被弄得想要放棄，是隊友間的相互鼓勵的力量和鍥而不舍的精神讓我們最終找到了自己滿意的模型：綜合指數(shù)法模型評價長江水質，既體現(xiàn)水質的各種評價因子，又能反映主要污染物對水質的突出作用;通過多元線性回歸擬合預測未來水質污染，建立線性優(yōu)化模型，制定污水處理計劃。我們小組的參賽論文獲北京市二等獎。三天三夜的建模經歷，那份澎湃的激情已經漸漸平息，取而代之的是更加冷靜的思考：數(shù)學建模創(chuàng)造、創(chuàng)新，成功地解決問題依賴于扎實的數(shù)學基礎知識和過硬的數(shù)學建模能力;依賴于不拘一格的創(chuàng)新思維和創(chuàng)造能力;還依賴于對多方面知識的了解和積累。
    Pocketed with this passion and thinking, I tasted to use mathematical modeling into practice and solve the practical problems by attending the National College Mathematical Modeling Contest with the other two schoolmates on behalf of our college. It required us to evaluate the water quality of Changjiang River according to the data, through which we had to analyze the water pollution in every region and predict the trend of it in the future. Finally we had to bring out the plan against it. It was really a challenge for us towards flood of data and estimations as long as 17 pages. We tried almost a whole day only to filter those data and take the evaluations into comprehensive account. Pulling down various models we had built before, we were so defeated that we wanted to give up many times. However, we finally found the satisfactory model thanks to our encouragement to each other which armed us with full strength to go further.We managed to evaluate the water quality by Composite index model, which could not only represent the evaluation factors, but also reflect the main impacts of the contaminations to the water pollution. We predicted the future water pollution through multiple linear regressions fitting and brought out the plan against it by building linear optimization model. Finally, we got the second prize in Beijing for our thesis. Three days’ and nights’ modeling experience had cooled our passion and gave us even more calm thinking instead. The creation of the mathematical modeling, along with the successful solution to the problems through it lied on the solid mathematics foundation, strong modeling ability, accumulation of the knowledge on different fields, unique creative ideas and creativity.
    參加數(shù)學建模比賽的經歷更加激發(fā)起我的學習興趣，使我在學習數(shù)學理論的同時更加注重它們的應用性。除此之外，我抓住一切可能的機會再次參加實際的數(shù)學建模。大三的上學期，我有幸參加了為期3天的電工數(shù)學建模實習：給某大型運動會比賽項目排序。由于對圖論知識很熟悉，我很快將問題轉化為尋找最佳Hamilton回路。接近87億種不同的排序的數(shù)據(jù)量，比上次的全國數(shù)模競賽更大，我的算法運行時間相當長而且運行的結果也很不理想。這種情況的發(fā)生不僅僅沒有打消我的積極性,反而使我的情緒高漲,這是人生中難得的自我考驗,自我提高的機會!通過查詢資料改用遺傳算法，運行時間和結果都大大提高.最后成功地完成這次實習.這次實習給我的感觸很大，一個數(shù)學模型是否能夠完美地解決實際問題還要考慮其運算成本，實際問題不僅需要一個成功的模型還需要一個快速有效的算法。
    The experience from this contest further aroused my interest in mathematics. I began to pay more attention to its application as well as learning the theories. In addition, I tried to catch every opportunity to take part in the practical mathematical modeling. My efforts finally rewarded when I was in the first term as a junior. I had a chance to participate in the 3-day electrician mathematical modeling practice-----classifying the sports programs for a big sports meeting. Being familiar with the Graph Theory, I immediately found the way to solve the problems by seeking the best Hamilton circuit line. Facing the nearly 8.7 billion data files with different orders much more than that on the National Mathematical Modeling Contest, I spent a long time on Algorithm without any perfect result. I wasn’t defeated towards this case, but so excited instead that I could have such a chance to challenge and improve myself. Looking up dozens of files, I finally made a perfect end of the practice by using the Genetic Algorithm into full account. It needs both a successful model and an effective arithmetic to solve these problems. , which largely shortened the operation time and improved the operation result. I learnt a lot from this practice. I came to know that to build successful mathematics modeling that can effectively solve the practical problems, we must take the operation cost
    電工數(shù)模實習結束后，濃厚的學習興趣和電工數(shù)學實習的教訓促使我和數(shù)學系、計算機系幾名同學共同籌劃并創(chuàng)建“數(shù)學建模沙龍”，將計算機算法和數(shù)學模型共同作為沙龍的主題。每周二下午，我們會組織有興趣的同學一起，以傳授經驗、分享心得、共同思考、共同討論的方法學習和交流數(shù)學思想和算法。傳統(tǒng)的運輸問題、儲存問題和新興的模擬退火算法、螞蟻算法都曾成為我們的討論話題。通過這個活動我從數(shù)學系和計算機系的同學身上分享了更多的知識,他們的思維方式,處理問題的方法!到目前為止這個活動仍然在進行著,參加的人數(shù)也越來越多.帶動了學校的一個學習熱潮,我為此感到非常的興奮!
    Summarizing my failures in the mathematical modeling electrician practice and proceeding from my interest in this field, I began to think of collaborating on the “Mathematical Modeling Saloon” with several students from mathematics and computer departments, taking the Computer Algorithms and mathematical modeling as the two themes of the book. Every Tuesday afternoon, we would organized those students interested in this field to study and exchange the ideas and arithmetic by imparting experience, sharing what we learnt, pondering together and discussing with each other. Both the traditional transportation & storage problems and the modern Stimulated Annealing Arithmetic (SAA), Ant Algorithm have ever been the topic of our discussion, from which I have learnt many thinking styles and methods to the problems from the students both in mathematics and computer department. So far, I am excited to see that this activity is still in the wind with more and more participants and it aroused a learning upsurge in our college.
    在老師的推薦下，大三暑假，我參加了邢永麗老師的教學改革項目——“提高數(shù)學課堂教學質量”的結果分析。04-05年，邢老師在她和其他幾個數(shù)學老師的任課班級上做了課堂互動的教學實踐，其數(shù)據(jù)大多以調查問卷等文字形式出現(xiàn)。此模型的特點讓我馬上聯(lián)想到模糊數(shù)學定量分析模型，但敢于嘗試新模型的念頭讓我最后選擇了AHP層次分析法。通過量化數(shù)據(jù)，應用AHP層次分析法定量分析老師的綜合素質、授課技巧等因素在師生互動、提高數(shù)學課堂教學質量中所起的作用，得出教師的授課技巧和課堂問題設置在課堂互動中所占分量最重的結論，并和邢老師合作完成《層次分析法在課堂互動教學效果評價中的應用》論文，邢老師和我對論文都非常滿意，已向多個期刊投稿并有望發(fā)表。
    Recommended by my teacher, I have participated in the Teaching Reform Program of Mrs. Xing yongli----the results analysis of “Improving the mathematics teaching quality on class”. Mrs. Xing, along with some other mathematics teachers experienced the class mutual activities in 2004 to 2005 with the character data files in form of paper investigations. For this style of data files, I finally used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a creative challenge instead of the fuzzy mathematical quantitative analysis models, which firstly knocked my mind. By quantitating data and using the AHP, I succeeded in analyzing how the overall quality of the teachers and their teaching skills work in improving the mathematics teaching quality on class, from which we got the conclusion that the teaching skills and the way to put forward questions on class play the most important role in the class mutual activities. Besides, Mrs. Xing collaborated with me on the thesis named “The Application of Analytic Hierarchy Processinto the Evaluation of Class Mutual Activities”. Both of us were satisfied with this thesis and contributed it to many presses to be published.
    和數(shù)學建模一樣，金融工程的靈魂是創(chuàng)新思維和創(chuàng)造能力，而數(shù)學和數(shù)學建模知識在金融工程的應用更讓我對這門學科充滿了興趣;更s重要的是，金融工程技術能給人們的生活、社會的穩(wěn)定、國家的發(fā)展做出重要貢獻，我想這個也更加符合我學習數(shù)學建模的初衷。
    Similar with the mathematical modeling, the soul of the Financial Engineering is also the creativity. Therefore, the perfect application of the mathematics and mathematical modeling into the Financial Engineering once more surged my enthusiasm in this field. Furthermore, the Financial Engineering plays the important part in people’s living, social stability and the national development, which is my original intention to choose this field I think.

    Finance is the lifeline of modern economy and if there is no finance globalization, there is no economy globalization. Finance globalization promoted to enlarge international finance market; multinational trade species and the scale, to make finance innovative appeared, strengthen international capital function and to play an important role on the resource distribution in the world. With the communication among nations increase and the technology information development, the development of finance tends to globalization. Finance globalization is the motor of economy globalization, finance and economy was one of the important factors for holding for the whole world, information, technology and other industry were developed on the base of finance and economy.
    The economy strength of a nation decided its place in the world. In the future, the world finance market would present themselves with different styles; non-essential economy began to play an important role in the world, the development of information industry made finance market develop more quickly. Moreover, finance influenced largely on the daily life of common people and made common people more concern the development tendency of finance then before and made out the relevant reaction according to getting information from all aspects, for example, the change of inflation, stock and exchange rate etc. All that influenced common peoples (people’s) lives and economical programs.
    I began to realize that finance in fact was the different (difference) between microcosmic and microeconomic and macroeconomic knowledge through my learning in the university, and it owned strong practice and was not abstract knowledge. For instance, currency banking, investment and international finance etc. all offered many cases and made me realize the meaning of finance. Then I knew that finance covered a wider scope and researcher needed strong academic background and ability on macro-control by practices and analysis of cases. For example, I acted as a leader of group, each group represents an enterprise and discussed whether open new produces instead of old produces, I told every member to answer for a part and consult materials, then we talked about them together and found some materials had superposition and didn’t have close logic, even each member had different emphasis and expressions which made me know cooperation was very important in a enterprise. So I held the second meeting to talk about these questions. I asked all members to look for materials relevant to this case respectively and then analyzed them together. During the process, we thought about them deeply and fully, finally we got a best scheme.
    Through this experiment, I became lover finance major than before, because it not only brought me model and data but also interest on (in) connecting knowledge with practices to make data and model vivid. Even each new idea produced different result. Finance is not a material concept but is social science, which contains a wider scope. I am very glad to involving discovering unknown things in this field. Just like discussion, many members’ thoughts inspired me and we got satisfied results. Finance is a social science which embodied human being is the essential. We could cultivate our academic taste during the learning symposia and academic discussion process. In the practices we could cultivate intuition added combination with academic background and mathematic theory; we could understand finance better.
    So I pay attention to connect theory and practices more than before, in my spare time I took part in social practices, for example I visited “international finance” of newspaper office and “Shanghai stock exchange”, besides I took part in planning for the “second finance year meeting” in Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. During the process, I met many finance people and got a chance for visiting Holland bank. Moreover I often consulted lots of finance journals and website materials etc. In order to connect theory with practices better, I carried on special researches on these problems.
    For example, I began to research “RMB Globalization problem” and its aim was to review substantial economy and non-substantial economy how to influence currency international globalization from demonstration and theory angle to help us understand the experiences and lessons happened on the process of each national currency globalization and offered some feasible references for RMB international globalization. I connected the fact of our national economy development, especially, the base fact of RMB used by some nations around China, through researching the general rule of currency internationalization globalization, to discuss the problem on RMB international globalization process.
    First, I reviewed the main countries’ currency globalization process in the world, and found that currency globalization must have two basic conditions. The first was rich economy strength; the second was to keep valuta long stabilization. Second, I pointed out RMB globalization was the necessity choice of our national economy persisting development and the benefit of currency globalization according to the impersonality requirement of economical globalization development, and RMB globalization would more enlarge the degree for opening to foreign.
    At the same time I thought that stable, quickly developmental national economy and larger economical scope made RMB of our country globalization strengthens and higher ability against risk, the last part emphasized the process of RMB globalization and the research on keeping away from risk. The process of RMB internationalization was: first implement RMB regional strategy on the basis of East Asia currency cooperation and East Asian free trade, then implement RMB globalization stratagem under many perfect factors influence.
    But during this process, it was very difficult for me to research non-substantiality economy in China. At present familiar to us, it was the stock market, while in China the stock market system did not very perfect and exist some problems on efficiency, security and fair. For example, I consulted many materials and knew several stages of Chinese stock issue, international paper department how to issue stock and the relative policy and system of stock market, then I asked my advisor how to comment on it and collected some comments of experts on the website. Besides I logged in MARKET WATCH and bought several stocks to do experiment to find out the conclusion that China it was more perfect, so Chinese stock market needed to be improved.
    Finance is very important in all fields and no other field can exist with breaking away from finance, so the requirements for financer should be improved in the future. Above all, in the future society, the requirement for financer was higher than before, the talent only mastered profession will unfit the future society. Because in China there are limit resources for me and I am impressed by your esteemed university, so I decided to go abroad for my future education.

    When asked why I like Mathematical Finance, I realized that it is all down to my personality. Being a composed, explicit person, I enjoy the challenge of questions with unequivocal answers. My character’s orderly side draws me enthusiastically towards neat solutions; my creativity gives rise to my acceptance of new ideas and my positive mind results in my wish to succeed. All questions have definite answers; we just need to construct ways of reaching them.
    Now, I would like to pursue my higher studies for the want of further knowledge in the mathematical finance. Due to the advanced technology and higher standard of education at USA, I would like to apply for [學位名稱] Degree in your prestigious University as I would like to be a big-man in the field of Mathematical Finance. I am quite confident of doing exceptionally well in my further studies. I believe that [申請課程] program in申請領域will provide me with a strong background for rapid professional advancement in Department of系名稱in 大學名稱University which attracts me with its famous faculty resources, advanced research areas, integrity in education and a free academic atmosphere.
    I believe studying in 大學名稱University will prepare me for a more extensive knowledge background, more advanced professional method and more reasonable ways of carrying out research in my future career Mathematics opened my mind to several new areas of algebra, sequences and series, and functions while Mathematical Finance broadened my horizon in fields of financial analysis, entrepreneur finance and micro-economics and others.
    I keenly welcomed the new techniques and enjoyed all aspects of the course. In addition to retaining a strong interest in computers, my fascination for mathematical finance has grown. My decision to apply for the Mathematical Finance was gradually confirmed with the thirst grew to know more about the forces that could have such a significant impact of people’s day-to-day economic lives.
    The reason why I am interested in Mathematic Finance also came from one of my uncle’s failure experience in option buying. It is often said that “experience is the best teacher”, but my uncle is a rookie who neglected the exercise issue of option, so he is out of money due to his missing in exercise schedule. My uncle is type of person who plays on a universal to “get something for nothing” and to “get rich quick". From that, I came to realize that a successful trader will always seek to improve the risk-reward characteristics of his position by looking for profit opportunities with the greatest possible margin for error. Since then I began to take notice of the trend in the development of financial products, in fact, the birth of option can be dated back to 1973 while option in this IT era has been a hot focus that attracted attentions.
    During college, I read a lot of books related to the topics, especially in risks, I also attended some classes; these include Entrepreneur Financing, Exchange Basics and Foreign Exchange Trading. In courses of Entrepreneur Financing, I conducted a presentation upon HONEST TEA, a venture investing company, and I discussed in detail with my teammates about the risk and influence brought by RMB Exchange rate revaluation; in these discussion and analysis, I put what I learned in courses, including Foreign Exchange Fundamentals and Exchange Trading, to practice, and exerted an efficient effect. I am glad to say that other students in my team all major in Finance or MBA, in contact with them, I learned that the risk issue, especially risk avoidance has been a course that attracted my intense attention. The entire area of risk management is an extensive subject. I looked at over dozens of books and seminar notebooks. I learned the risk avoidance approaches and analytical procedures in the field of Mathematical Finance. As for me, the relationship between risk and return seems straight forward. In a process of case analyzing, I discovered that the risk and return move in the same direction, in other words, if one accept a higher risk, it is possible to achieve higher returns. It is amazing that high-risk investments invariably promise a high return.
    I have also obtained an understanding of what it is like to be amongst a large group of people through working at CAS (China Academy of Science) Risk Financial Risk Management Lab. I particularly benefited from my financial analysis experiences at Wuliangye Group, Tsingdao Brewery and GreatWall Wine as they introduced me to many fields, such as Financial Analysis and Forecasting, Risk Avoidance, Trading, accountancy and exchange, and taught me to appreciate the evident need for teamwork.
    In [時間] , I came to Wei Xianhua, the director of Reuters-Financial Risk Management Lab, at CAS, for the possible of attending his program of Financial Risk Management and Practice course, and then he agreed, and let me to assist him on analysis upon the IPO process of New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc, from prospectus analysis to its Roadshow. Prior to the analysis, Mr. Wei introduced me a book entitled (Guide to the IPO Value Journey by The Ernst & Young). I used the calculation approaches in this book to conduct a P/E analysis (Price-Earning Ratio analysis) for New Oriental by dividing the company’s stock price by the company’s earning per share, or “EPS”, through calculation, it gives me an indication of how many times the stock buyers are paying for the company’s stock verse the company’s earning. Through analysis and calculation processes, I discovered that a company with a high (or large) P/E ratio is expensive verse a company with a low P/E ratio, since with a high P/E ration a buyer paying a larger multiple verse a company’s earnings.
    In my opinion, as a would-be undergraduate who want to pursue education in the field of mathematical finance, it is very important to possess a solid knowledge of advanced mathematics, especially in normal differential eguation and matrix algebra. In college, I learned what is reinforcement learning algorithm and its application, I discovered that one of strength with Q-learning is that it is able to compare the expected utility of the available actions without requiring a model of environment. During the process, I also contacted with Stochastic Process, Monte Carlo method and NN (Neural Network), all of which benefit me not only in solving practical mathematical problems but also in opening my mind. Through my hardworking, I got excellent 91 points in Optimal Control Theory in end of semester.
    A bachelor degree in Computer Science (Signal and Information Processing) has given me many transferable skills needed in Mathematical Finance. Worthy of notice is that Research on Reinforcement Learning Methods and Neural Network Algorithm, through which I contacted with much professional knowledge including Random Processes, Monte Carlo Method, and acquired a solid knowledge in the field Neutral Network. I used rreinforcement learning algorithms to find an approach for maximizing cumulative reward over the course of the problem. I am currently investigating a number of regions that appeal to me, which include [目前正在從事的領域活動]. For now, I intend to approach the future positively and have many exciting thoughts. I hope to encounter new opportunities, and rise to the challenge of [申請課程名稱] program in your university!
    Looking back on my academic career, it definitely taught me how to think for myself and make my own decisions. Success is not simply a matter of luck, I feel that my passion for mathematical finance makes me worthy of a place in your esteemed program, and I look forward to getting involved in both academic and social aspects of your university life.

    Applied Program: Financial Mathematics
    In the deepest recesses of my memories is the boulevard lined with Chinese parasol trees located outside my house. When I was just ten years old, my father put me at the back of his bicycle and rode me every weekend to attend English classes in the nearby community center (English was not part of elementary school education in China at that time). On this road of questing for my first western education, I, as a girl who loved to indulge in observations and meditations, kept an observant eye on the changing colors of the leaves all the year round. The rotation of seasons and the cyclical changes of the trees impressed me with the transitoriness of life and the urgency of making my life substantial within its transitory span. My present application for an advanced degree program at your esteemed university is by far the most important step in my relentless efforts to make my life substantial.
    Dealing with figures has been our family tradition. As my mother is a statistician and my grandma a certified public account, as a teenager I had also commenced my observations and reflections on figures and calculations in the statements and reports that they had prepared with strong curiosity and interest. This interested strengthened my love for mathematics, often described as the “gymnastics of abstract thinking.” From elementary school to middle school, it was virtually a rule for me to achieve straight A’s in almost every course related to mathematics, a talent which has always made me feel proud of myself. Deep in my subconscious, I knew that a career related to mathematics would fit me most perfectly. Therefore, when I gained my undergraduate admission, I chose to specialize in Mathematics at Beijing Normal University. I believe that this specialty has provided me with a perfect arena to give vent to my passion for mathematics. My dedication to studies in mathematics and effective strategies of learning, plus voluminous readings of technical literature in various academic journals, have led to my top third ranking in my class and a number of major scholarships.
    My greatest passion for learning mathematics was stimulated when I came to discover the foundational importance in social sciences, the essential function of mathematics behind its abstract concepts and number theories. When I first studied Advanced Mathematics, I was not clear about the real use of abstract mathematical theories. This kind of puzzlement lasted until I found that the genuine function of mathematics lied in its ability to solve problems in the real world objectively and scientifically, to develop human wisdom, to enable one to arrive at higher horizons and to examine problems with insights and discriminations. The courses that have particularly fascinated me most are Mathematical Analysis, Higher Geometry, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, and Matrix Construction in Mathematics. Those courses allowed me to experience the charm of mathematics’ symbolic language and that of mathematical thinking, in addition to its omnipresent utility.
    As an undergraduate, I am most proud of my experience of constructing the Social and Economic Growth Model as a team member representing our university during a mathematical modeling contest in Beijing. As our three-person team lacked the experience of applying theoretical knowledge to practical problems, we felt at an impasse in the face of the challenging task. I took some time to examine in detail all the mathematical models we had learned in class and proposed the idea of dividing the entire modeling into individual modules and piecing them together to form a complete model. Eventually our team was awarded second prize at this provincial contest. In retrospect, it is precisely this experience that aroused my serious interest in the application of mathematics in the realms of economics and finance. To further develop myself in this direction, I studied a lot of optional courses including macroeconomics, microeconomics, e-commerce, etc. Thenceforward, I developed a new objective—to combine my knowledge of mathematics with economics and finance and to exploit the function of mathematics in social life.
    My undergraduate thesis, entitled Vector Quantity and Geometry, though purely theoretical in appearance, is actually a vivid description of how mathematical theories can be applied to reality. It focuses on precise analysis of those potential yet absolute relationships between different entities and how we can uncover and examine those relationships from mathematical perspectives. Rated by the department academic council as “Class A”, the thesis has been accepted by the editorial board of our departmental journal for publication.
    Apart from cultivating my rigorous attitude for scientific research and developing my analytical and problem-solving abilities, I have taken an active part in extracurricular activities. With my strengths in mathematics, I passed a number of certification tests with much facility, including Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Office-Use Specialist, and LOTUS 1-2-3. I have been correspondent and editor for our campus radio broadcasting station and campus website. My English proficiency qualified me as a volunteer working for the Beijing Worldwide Chinese Businessmen Meeting. In summer vacation, I worked part-time at a local accounting firm where I exercised my knowledge of mathematics and skills of electronic computation to establish for the firm a financial database. I also worked on preparing business accounting plans and digitalized financial management plans for the firm’s clients.
    My experiences of social practices have permitted me to understand how mathematics can best be used. As far as I am concerned, my lack of advanced academic knowledge, especially my lack of in-depth understanding of economics and finance, and my lack of formal and systematic trainings in those fields, have constituted my “bottleneck” for further academic development. The overall situation in China is that there is an oversupply of theoretical mathematicians while applied mathematicians are sorely needed. Interdisciplinary subjects between mathematics and economics, such as financial mathematics, actuary science, economic engineering, and mathematical economics, are virtually nonexistent in China. The consequence is that China’s economic development will be seriously hampered for the lack of those important sciences. Great Britain plays a leading role in the world both in financial sciences and in education. Those two factors have motivated me to seek advanced studies there.
    In this Personal Statement, I would like to indicate to you unequivocally my intention to specialize in financial mathematics, mathematical economics, or similar programs of an interdisciplinary nature. My choice is motivated by the consideration that in China virtually all financial professionals do not possess a strong background in mathematics, thus they rely heavily on foreign technical models and concepts. However, China’s economic conditions and models differ from those in Western countries and any unquestioning importation would be counterproductive. My plan is to probe into the possibility of developing some economic and financial models that best fit in with China’s circumstances based on a critical analysis of Western models and extensive practices. Projects in those areas will be what I am most concerned with and interested in.
    London School of Economics and Politics is reputed for its time-honored history, respected for its distinctive status in economics and finance, along with its unparalleled research and pedagogical standards. Advanced educational concepts and methodologies there would undoubtedly broaden my vision and perspectives, enhance my fundamental skills in devising and launching large-scale cases. Most importantly, for a woman like me who has a penchant for English culture in general and English literature in particular, going to study in Britain will foster my spirit of independence the way Jane Eyre did. Nothing can delight me more than to observe and to experience, with heart and soul, the historical, cultural legacies of such a great country.
