Quant firms hire math, physics, CS, engineering, economics, and (some) finance PhD's. If you understand analysis of nontrivial algorithms, monte carlo algos, probability theory, etc.. then you have the intellectual qualifications to get into a quant. The hard part is that it's competitive
>but only math PhD's do measure >but only math PhD's really know the aboveThe PhD is a symbolic degree attached to a program with technical classes, but it's 100% about research. You learn what you need to or what you want when you do research. People from within or outside your field are tackling your problems. There are physics PhD's who better functional analysts than you. There are computer science PhD's who are better algebraists than you. The title of your PhD is meaningless, and all anyone cares about is the most concrete thing to your name - your CV, your advisor, and the conferences you attend.
