The Physics of Wall Street: A Brief History of Predicting the Unpredictable by James Owen Weatherall

4.0

A well done, quick read pop science/history sort of book. It's full of interesting personalities, a little known century long tale of intellectual endeavors and just enough technical explanation to let you come along with a better working understanding of the mathematics.

It's a bit light, but a nice appetizer if you are interested in the quant phenomenon.
