'''''The Library of Babel''''' is a short story by Argentine author and librarin Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), conceiving of a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible combinations of alphanumeric text. A splinterfan group has created a prototype of the idea at [http://libraryofbabel.info libraryofbabel.info].
The Engineering Investment Group aims to bridge the gap between engineering and finance by providing opportunities for engineering students to learn about the ever-changing world of finance. We educate engineering students through real-life investment activities and events. We wish to create a community of finance oriented individuals to share their thoughts and challenge each other’s ideas. The key objectives of the group are to showcase the merit of McGill Engineering students to large financial institutions and for members to both gain and demonstrate investment skills and knowledge.

Borges' narrator describes how his universe consists of an enormous expanse of adjacent hexagonal rooms, each of which contains the bare necessities for human survival—and four walls of bookshelves. Though the order and content of the books is random and apparently completely meaningless, the inhabitants believe that the books contain every possible ordering of just 25 basic characters (22 letters, the period, the comma, and the space). Though the vast majority of the books in this universe are pure gibberish, the library also must contain, somewhere, every coherent book ever written, or that might ever be written, and every possible permutation or slightly erroneous version of every one of those books. The narrator notes that the library must contain all useful information, including predictions of the future, biographies of any person, and translations of every book in all languages. Conversely, for many of the texts some language could be devised that would make it readable with any of a vast number of different contents.

===Subheader2===
Despite—indeed, because of—this glut of information, all books are totally useless to the reader, leaving the librarians in a state of suicidal despair. This leads some librarians to superstitions and cult-like behaviours, such as the "Purifiers", who arbitrarily destroy books they deem nonsense as they scour through the library seeking the "Crimson Hexagon" and its illustrated, magical books. Others believe that since all books exist in the library, somewhere one of the books must be a perfect index of the library's contents; some even believe that a messianic figure known as the "Man of the Book" has read it, and they travel through the library seeking him.

The story repeats the theme of Borges' 1939 essay "The Total Library" ("La biblioteca total"), which in turn acknowledges the earlier development of this theme by Kurd Lasswitz in his 1901 story "The Universal Library" ("Die Universalbibliothek"):

:Certain examples that Aristotle attributes to Democritus and Leucippus clearly prefigure it, but its belated inventor is Gustav Theodor Fechner, and its first exponent, Kurd Lasswitz. [...] In his book The Race with the Tortoise (Berlin, 1919), Dr Theodor Wolff suggests that it is a derivation from, or a parody of, Ramón Llull's thinking machine [...T]he elements of his game are the universal orthographic symbols, not the words of a language [...] Lasswitz arrives at twenty-five symbols (twenty-two letters, the space, the period, the comma), whose recombinations and repetitions encompass everything possible to express in all languages. The totality of such variations would form a Total Library of astronomical size. Lasswitz urges mankind to construct that inhuman library, which chance would organize and which would eliminate intelligence. (Wolff's The Race with the Tortoise expounds the execution and the dimensions of that impossible enterprise.)
The Stock Pitch Competition allows students to learn, apply and understand the fundamentals of stock valuation, macroeconomic analysis and asset allocation. The competition is an all-day event, starting with keynote speeches, followed by an hour long workshop on “How to Pitch a Stock”. Students are then divided into teams of four and each team is given 3 hours to analyze the information provided. After that, each team is required to prepare and deliver a 10 minute presentation with their recommendation, and respond to a 5 minute Q&A period in front of a panel of judges.

Primary Events

Speaker Series

EIG organizes several information sessions throughout the academic year that aim to educate engineering students about the diverse world of finance. These lunch-and-learn styled lectures usually revolve around topics such as personal finance, portfolio management, investment banking, fixed income analysis, and wealth management. These speaker series host lecturers from both academic (business faculty professors) and corporate (industry expert) backgrounds.
