Emanuel Derman was one of the first physicists to move to Wall Street, and his career paralleled the growth of quantitative trading over the past twenty years. In My Life as a Quant, he traces his transformation from ambitious young scientist to managing director and head of the renowned Quantitative Strategies group at Goldman, Sachs & Co.
Derman’s tale recounts his adventures with quants, traders and other high fliers on Wall Street as he became the best-known quant in the business. He describes the struggles of research and his interactions with an assorted cast of famous scientists. He relates his impressions of some of the most creative minds on Wall Street, including Fischer Black, with whom he collaborated on the widely used Black-Derman-Toy model of interest rates. Throughout his story he reflects on the appropriate way to apply the refined methods of physics to the hurly-burly world of markets and the people that inhabit them.
看之前格外留心了下副标题:华尔街的数量金融大师。在我印象里,凡是和“华尔街”“大师”沾边的传记都无外乎一种调调。老子(第三人称的话就是某某)有多么多么牛逼,没这种概念的去看看《货币战争》。 不过,我错了。 德曼的这本自传写的很诚实,很多大牌明星级的教授和华...

评分这本书对于物理生涯的描述格外亲切。一个读物理的人总是被别人看成怪异的人,而读物理的人都会把别人当成傻瓜。背后是物理是在探讨“整个物质世界的运行规则”,学物理的人觉得掌握了这些就有了永恒,而这些规则却没多少人感兴趣。我的物理生涯就是一种自卑和自尊中度过的-- 一...
评分《宽客人生》是一部“真诚”的著作,完全没有中文版封面所呈现的那种浮夸、自满。第一代宽客中最著名的德曼完全敞开心扉讲述了他从物理到金融的全部经历。他只是平静地回顾过去的时光,一部典型的自传。 整本书充满诡异的转变,“一次偶然的痤疮的结果”,这就是人生:你永远...
