Lehigh MountainQuants

The purpose of “MountainQuants” is pedagogical and informative. We intend to teach the basics of Math, Finance, Computer Science and Statistics needed to
understand the techniques of quantitative finance. We are a social and teaching focused group. We will be primarily engaged in teaching based and group activities. We will also have internal research projects which will culminate in a short whitepaper published to our website.

We hope to benefit the Lehigh community by creating an effective learning environment for those interested in the ever-expanding field of Quantitative finance.
By bringing together mathematics and finance in a friendly and engaging environment our club can act as a stepping stone into the world of Quant finance for
students who are interested but not sure where to start.

Our mission is bringing together Lehigh students with an interest in Engineering and Finance to create a gateway to the world of Quant finance. This funding directly empowers club members by subsidizing advanced learning platforms, interview prep tools, and specialized AI training for quantitative finance. It also covers the logistical costs needed to host large collaborative events with other campus organizations like the Lehigh AI club. Furthermore, gifts support hands-on research by purchasing essential developer APIs for students participating in the MountainQuants Project Program. Ultimately, contributions enable members to produce and publish high-level research papers on systemic risk under professional mentorship.
