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.

读后感
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The book commences with a history of physics that is reminiscent of "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. From Newton to Maxwell to Einstein and beyond, Derman discovers the great theories of yesterday and finds himself in the middle of a seven year marat...

评分16,17岁的理想是当爱因斯坦;21岁觉得做费曼也不错;24岁的时候觉得做李政道就好了;做博士后的时候开始嫉妒officemate被邀请去做seminar。 在做了几年博士后仍然没有理想的faculty机会之后，步入工业界。先在AT&T实验室工作了几年，然后进入金融工程领域。一做十六年，做到高盛Q...
用户评价
一个物理PhD如何进行职业选择的故事。在我看来，作者成功的因素有：1，尽可能的寻找与自己的兴趣相结合的职业；2，尽可能的和更优秀的一起工作；3，工作和学习中努力构建知识和技能的储备，机遇只垂青有准备的人。
评分其实很悲凉
评分一个有趣骄傲又有智慧的人
评分因为作者客座于coursera的一门课所以阅读了此书。。。基本上他在学校和bell labs的时候又怂，又轻狂，又势利，又小肚鸡肠，最爱说“这可不能赖我呀”，对在他周围出现的所有人不是捧杀就是棒杀；后来去了goldman，突然变成了一个谦逊勤奋又（相对来说）讨人喜欢的正常人。。。再后来又过了若干年，他居然又变回了“这可不能赖我呀”，而且要特意在书里写一下自己高贵冷艳地拒绝跟robert merton的儿子换座这件事儿不能赖他，而且merton在此书出版时已经死了。。。书中描绘了众多江湖猛人，很明显他的真爱必须是fischer black。。。总体来说我觉得作者是个实在人，这也是一本很好看的书~
评分前面挺精彩的，后面讲述金融工程的内容，有些地方比较枯燥
