Book Reviews of The Quants: How a New Breed of Math Whizzes Conquered Wall Street and Nearly Destroyed It
Book Review: "The Quants" - A Quantifiably Interesting Read
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Quants" fills in a missing piece in the explanations of the financial crisis found in "On the Brink" and "Too Big to Fail". The author jumps around a bit, but not to excess, and the reader is never lost as a result.
