If you have a continuous variable that you want to use for a linear model, what are some assumptions you would make before building your model? What's the difference between mathematical models and statistical models?

How do you speed up the convergence of a Monte Carlo simulation? Do you know anything about C++ templates / Python @classmethod decorator / how to verify the properties of a pseudorandom generator? Also, specific questions about choices and assumptions made in case study. Presentation lasted 10-12 minutes, but Q&A lasted four times as long.
