The 2009 QuantNetwork Ranking of Financial

Engineering/Mathematical Finance MS Programs
The 2009 QuantNetwork Ranking of Financial Engineering/Mathematical Finance MS Programs located in North
America (US and Canada) is based on publicly available data from Xmarks, and uses a proprietary analysis
algorithm* developed by QuantNetwork.

The same algorithm was used to rank US Business Schools. The resulting 2009 QuantNetwork Ranking of
Business Schools is in line with the 2009 US News and World Report Ranking, the 2008 Business Week Ranking,
and the 2009 Forbes Ranking of Business Schools.

The QuantNetwork Ranking is significantly closer to the 2009 US News and World Report Ranking than the other
two rankings, suggesting that a ranking of Financial Engineering / Mathematical Finance MS Programs done
according to the US News and World Report methodology would result in a ranking similar to the 2009
QuantNetwork Ranking of Financial Engineering / Mathematical Finance MS Programs.

Methodology

Notes: 23 programs were ranked. The results are reported in groups of five: 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and
21-23, listing the programs alphabetically by school within each group
