My Life as a Quant

Reflections on Physics and Finance

By: Emanuel Derman

Narrated by: Peter Ganim

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. 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.

Captivating story

Well described career experiences in physics, finance, and team relationships. Very interesting for you quants out there.

Hands Down The Most Boring Quant Audiobook

At this point, I legitimately think I've listened to every audiobook on here related to quants and this one is by far the and without comparison the most boring and frankly irrelevant. I got through over half of it and there was virtually nothing about finance just a boring physics teacher and his incredibly boring privileged life complaining about it.
