Sommario/riassunto

Quants, physicists working on Wall Street as quantitative analysts, have been widely blamed for triggering the recent financial crisis with their complex mathematical models. What made these models, employed to minimize financial risk, so dangerous?   In this penetrating, insider's look at the recent economic collapse, Emanuel Derman--former head quant at Goldman Sachs and a former physicist--explains the collision between mathematical modeling and economics that has touched every one of us.

Sommario/riassunto

'This is the book we need for guidance on employment for people with



Asperger's syndrome. The contributors describe their employment experiences and offer sound advice.
