Praise for How I Became a Quant
"Led by two top-notch quants, Richard R. Lindsey and Barry
Schachter, How I Became a Quant details the quirky world of
quantitative analysis through stories told by some of today's most
successful quants. For anyone who might have thought otherwise,
there are engaging personalities behind all that number
crunching!"
--Ira Kawaller, Kawaller & Co. and the Kawaller Fund
"A fun and fascinating read. This book tells the story of how
academics, physicists, mathematicians, and other scientists became
professional investors managing billions."
--David A. Krell, President and CEO, International Securities
Exchange
"How I Became a Quant should be must reading for all students with
a quantitative aptitude. It provides fascinating examples of the
dynamic career opportunities potentially open to anyone with the
skills and passion for quantitative analysis."
--Roy D. Henriksson, Chief Investment Officer, Advanced Portfolio
Management
"Quants"--those who design and implement mathematical models for
the pricing of derivatives, assessment of risk, or prediction of
market movements--are the backbone of today's investment industry.
As the greater volatility of current financial markets has driven
investors to seek shelter from increasing uncertainty, the quant
revolution has given people the opportunity to avoid unwanted
financial risk by literally trading it away, or more specifically,
paying someone else to take on the unwanted risk.
How I Became a Quant reveals the faces behind the quant revolution,
offering you?the?chance to learn firsthand what it's like to be
a?quant today. In this fascinating collection of Wall Street war
stories, more than two dozen quants detail their roots, roles, and
contributions, explaining what they do and how they do it, as well
as outlining the sometimes unexpected paths they have followed from
the halls of academia to the front lines of an investment
revolution.
