From what I understand, a lot of the FPGA and vector calculus stuff that financial-services companies are doing is leaps and bounds ahead of the published materials. But I'm not under NDA in any related projects, so that's just hearsay.

In my anecdotal experience, the financial industry is light years behind most post-graduate level mathematicians and physicists. Finanical math is kind of scary for anyone who knows more math than the average banker.
