Richard reviewed My Life as a Quant by Emanuel Derman
Review of 'My Life as a Quant' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Very good book, incredibly interesting to hear the perspective about Wall Street from a Physics PhD. The book is lively and fun, while also explaining some of the more quantitative details of the job. We'll see if I change my mind later, but as of 2014 I'd still bet there's a "singular" model to explain finance. It may be currently out of our reach, but i believe it exists.
