"The Quants: How a New Breed of Math Whizzes Conquered Wall Street and Nearly Destroyed It" by Scott Patterson is a trade paperback book published in 2010 by Crown Publishing Group, T.H.E. The book explores the rise of the "quants" on Wall Street, a new breed of math whizzes who used advanced mathematical models to predict market movements. While they brought innovation and efficiency to investment banking, their reliance on quantitative analysis nearly led to the collapse of the financial system during the 2008 crisis. The book delves into the history and impact of these math wizards on the financial industry, making it a valuable read for those interested in economics, finance, and business strategy.
