[ 3.0 stars ] "Summary from my full length review - Do not expect to find trading techniques or insights from this book. It is an interesting account of someone who has been working "on the other side of the fence" (a.k.a institution) as a quant. Not just any quant, but one of the famous quants who has his name as part of the Black-Derman-Toy model. It is also a good historical account of the changes going throu ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "The author's story from Columbia University to various postdoctoral positions in particle physics to financial titans Goldman Sachs and Salomon Brothers is fascinating. The descriptions of particle physics is well-written and should be understood by most readers, although without a bit of a science background it will be tough. I was most interested in the roundabout career path he took to get ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "Interesting discussion of how the original quants got started from their roots in physics and academia. Readers without undergrad experience in math or physics will be lost at times as the author gets into his technical discussions. But there are some worthwhile discussions of the nature of risk and the role that quants and other groups play in trying to dampen the risk for the investment firms. D ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "The author begins the book writing about his time as a physics graduate student at Columbia. From there, he reflects on his growing cynicism regarding physics as a profession. Ultimately, he takes us into the early days of the technical bond value determination.It's pretty technical at times, which is needed given the subject material. The personal anecdotes are pretty far and few between, but ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This is a memoir, so I grant that the author is allowed to tell his story to the extent and in the way he wants to. It's not really appropriate to judge him personally, but rather we should judge whether the story is interesting and informative. I think Derman succeeds on both counts.I've been interested in physics for all of my adult life, so I greatly enjoyed that part of the story and ..." Courtesy by Amazon
