Quantitative Finance and Risk Management

A Physicist's Approach

by

  • 2 Want to read

Written by a physicist with over 20 years of experience as a quant on Wall Street, this book treats a wide variety of topics. Presenting the theory and practice of quantitative finance and risk, it delves into the "how to" and "what it's like" aspects not covered in textbooks or research papers. Both standard and new results are presented. A "Technical Index" indicates the mathematical level — from zero to PhD — for each chapter. The finance in each chapter is self-contained. Real-life comments on "life as a quant" are included. This book is designed for scientists and engineers desiring to learn quantitative finance, and for quantitative analysts and finance graduate students. Parts will be of interest to research academics.

Book Details

First Sentence

"This book is primarily for PhD scientists and engineers who want to learn about quantitative finance, and for graduate students in finance programs . Practicing quantitative analysts (“quants”) and research workers will find topics of interest. There are even essays with no equations for non-technical managers."
