Derman's book: "My Life as a Quant"

[dstefan]

Excellent reading, highly recommended.

Excerpt from an email from an alum about the book:

``Read the Derman book "My Life as a Quant" a little while back - I would highly recommend for any prospective students looking for perspective on exactly what "quant" finance is and how it might relate to a prior career in hard sciences/math."

Coincidentally, I read this book last April after my first meeting with Prof. Stefanica. I knew about Mr. Derman from an article on NY Times.
It was an outstanding book. Highly recommended.
