as a student majoring financial engineering,i think it ** neccessary to learn some natual science including physics.in fact,physics ** one of our basic courses in our school.however,most students don't think it counts for much as it seems to h**e nothing to do with finance.but i think we can learn some methods which are used in the natual science that can be transplanted to the fields of finance and economy.as far as i know,it really proves to be a good way to study financial and economical problems. in a word,no matter what your major **,you can benefit from it a lot because you can be encourged and inspired by all the great scient**ts in the human-being h**tory.
