History
In 1998, Princeton University established the Bendheim Center for Finance to encourage interdisciplinary research in finance from a quantitative or mathematical perspective. The Center's research activities focus on the study of financial markets and asset prices, financial structure of firms, commercial banks and other financial intermediaries, and linkages between financial economics and such fields as engineering, operations research, mathematics, computer science, psychology and public policy. "Proponents of the program cited similar 'professionally-oriented mathematical and computational finance programs' at University of California, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Columbia University, the University of Chicago and other peer institutions." Ben Bernanke is credited as the founder of the center.
The Center celebrated its tenth anniversary with a conference and lecture by Bernanke in September 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
