-Titulo Original : My Life As A Quant Reflections On Physics And Finance
-Fabricante :
Wiley
-Descripcion Original:
In My Life as a Quant, Emanuel Derman relives his exciting journey as one of the first high-energy particle physicists to migrate to Wall Street. Page by page, Derman details his adventures in this field-analyzing the incompatible personas of traders and quants, and discussing the dissimilar nature of knowledge in physics and finance. Throughout this tale, he also reflects on the appropriate way to apply the refined methods of physics to the hurly-burly world of markets. Review There are few gentlemen bankers left these days. Nor is there much room in the great financial houses for anything that smacks of the amateur spirit. That is why Emanuel Dermans memoirs are so compelling…Dermans wry humour and sense of irony are apparent throughout the book. - Financial TimesThat sense of being an intruder in outlaw territory lends an intriguing mood to Dermans My Life As a Quant, a literate and entertaining memoir. -Business Weekengaging --(CFO Europe, October 2005)Not only a delightful memoir, but one full of information, both about people and their enterprise. I never thought that I would be interested in quantitative financial analysis, but reading this book has been a fascinating education. -Jeremy Bernstein, author of Oppenheimer: Portrait of an EnigmaThis wonderful autobiography takes place in that special time when scientists discovered Wall Street and Wall Street discovered them. It is elegantly written by a gifted observer who was a pioneering member of the new profession of financial engineering, with an evident affection both for finance as a science and for the scientists who practice it. Derman’s portrait of how the academics brought their new financial science to the world of business and forever changed it and, especially, his descriptions of the late and extraordinary genius Fischer Black who became his mentor, reveal a surprising humanity where it might be least expected.

Derman is a different class of thinker... I know of no other book that bridges the two cultures.--Nassim Taleb, author of The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness From the Back Cover Praise for My Life as a Quant My Life as a Quant, by Emanuel Derman is, indeed, a perfect memoir, as Derman, a South African-born physicist turned financial engineer, is a perfect memoirist. --Grants Interest Rate ObserverThat sense of being an intruder
