My Life as A Quant. Reflections on physics and Finance. Emmanuel Derman.

My Life as A Quant. Reflections on physics and Finance. Emmanuel Derman. 2004. 04713944203. "Eman" moved from being a practicing physicist (Ph.D.) to being a financial wizard on Wall Street. If you have ever wondered how the really serious big money managers reassign their investment risk, then you will learn lots from this book. In a very distant past I fancied myself a mathematician, but this book really pushed my envelope for understanding. Not the easiest read, as the style is quite choppy.
