Nerds on Wall Street. Math, Machines and Wired Markets
Description:
An intriguing look at how technology is changing financial markets, from an innovator on the frontlines of
this revolution
Nerds on Wall Street tells the tale of the ongoing technological transformation of the world's financial
markets. The impact of technology on investing is profound, and author David Leinweber provides readers
with an overview of where we were just a few short years ago, and where we are going. Being a successful
investor today and tomorrow--individual or institutional--involves more than stock picking, asset allocation,
or market timing: it involves technology. And Leinweber helps readers go beyond the numbers to see exactly
how this technology has become more responsible for managing modern markets. In essence, the financial
game has changed and will continue to change due entirely to technology. The new "players," human or
otherwise, offer investors opportunities and dangers. With this intriguing and entertaining book, Leinweber
shows where technology on Wall Street has been, what it has meant, and how it will impact the markets of
tomorrow.
