"Our finance department needs a Quant Jock, and Human Resources is looking."

 

"The job of our Quant is to find trends and what causes them in our financial data."

 

"Quant isn't as straightforward as it is slang and can refer to various applications such as a desk Quant in the trades; research Quant who analyzes ways to create new approaches, even the Quant developer who programs systems to analyze the data, among others in the making."

 

"Many business schools are beginning to gain recognition for their development of Quants."
