A Quant Saving Wall Street
I’ve always secretly wanted to be a quant (aka, math guy) on Wall Street. Saying that, I found Newsweek’s profile of Paul Wilmott – who Nassim Taleb, the mathematician and author of the bestseller The Black Swan (high on my ‘to read’ list), calls him the smartest quant in the world. “He’s (Wilmott) the only one who truly understands what’s going on … the only quant who uses his own head and has any sense of ethics” – to be quite interesting.
