Abstract
Master Thesis
Investment and the Quantity of Data Analytics
Assistant Professor Zhou Chao
We study how the characteristics of investors and investment opportunities and the cost of data analytics affect investment decisions and the quantity of data analytics. We derive an explicit formula for the value and optimal quantity of data analytics for risk-adverse investors in a two period model. We show that lower data analytics costs raises leverage and increases the optimal quantity of data analytics, highly risk-averse investors use less data analytics and data analytics is used most with mediocre investment opportunities

Abstract
Honours Thesis
Apollonian Circle Packings and Doyle’s Spirals
Professor Tan Ser Peow
This thesis presents a basic introduction to Apollonian Circle Packings and Hexagonal Circle Packings, also known as Doyle’s Spirals. It shows that there is a complex extension of Doyle’s rule for generating Hexagonal Circle Packings analogous to the Complex Circle Theorem for Apollonian Circle Packings. By studying the extension, coherent and virtually coherent Doyle’s Spirals can be found. 2 MATLAB® programs were created to draw Apollonian Circle Packings and Doyle’s Spirals. These programs are executable and are able to run on any 64-bit computer independently from MATLAB®.
