"My life as quant"

These days I read a very nice book
"My Life as Quant"of Emanuel Derman
the story of a theoretical particle physicist that
decided to leave science to work in financial markets.
I relay appreciate both the part about the academic life
and the one about the life in Wall Street that for me was unknown.

About the academic life, I found many points in common with my
actual situation and I strongly recommend this book to everyone
would like to work in science or in financial markets.
