<p>^^^ What are you talking about sakky? </p>
<p>Anyways, one of the recent nobel prizes in economics went to two of the 3 people behind the so-called Black-Scholes equation. It is a partial differential equation that deals with the values of options, a type of equity.</p>
<p>The kicker: The reason the equation is so powerful is because the inventors of the equation came up with a specific substitution that transforms the PDE into the famous heat equation studied by mathematicians and physicists for quite some time. </p>
<p>You can interpret that story however you wish, I am just pointing the potential usefulness of a scientific mind in economics.</p>
