“警惕带着数学公式的书呆子。”——Warren Buffett。2006年3月，全球最富有的一群人在纽约一家奢华酒店里轻啜香槟。他们正准备参加一场筹码高达百万美元的扑克锦标赛，但这些数字对他们来说根本无足轻重。他们习惯了拿数十亿资金去冒险。当晚坐在牌桌旁的是 Peter Muller，一个古怪而绝顶聪明的神童，曾在普林斯顿大学攻读理论数学，如今管理着一家名为 PDT 的极具传奇色彩的成功对冲基金……只要他没在纽约地铁上为早高峰的通勤族弹电子琴。与他

……你，哪怕你的愿景意味着全世界都要在一场近似“金钱终结”的灾难里完蛋了（d0000med）:) 现在换到一个很有意思的金融层面，我们所有黑客都会喜欢的……S. Patterson 写的《宽客》（The Quants）。只要黑客在电影里能拍得好看，这绝对能拍成一部神作（可惜现实里根本不像《剑鱼行动》里的休·杰克曼那样！）。巴菲特名言：“小心带着公式的极客”……
…you, even when your vision implies the rest of the world is d0000med in an almost end-of-money kind of way :) Now move into an interesting layer of finance, which all of us Hackers will enjoy ... The Quants by S. Patterson This has the making of a great movie if only hacking were interesting on film (too bad its not really like Hugh Jackman in Swordfish!). Buffet: "beware of geeks bearing formulas" ...…
……作为 Nanex 的反方观点，可以去看看 Cliff Asness 的笔记。他在高盛内部创立了 AQR，后来做成了最早一批真正实力雄厚的量化基金巨头之一。他的文章写得棒极了！或者直接去读《宽客》http://www.amazon.ca/The-Quants-Whizzes-Conquered-Destroyed/...，他在里面占了很大篇幅。https://www.aqr.com/cliffs-perspective/
…counter point to Nanex, check out Cliff Asness' notes. He founded AQR inside of Goldman Sachs and it became one of the first real power house quant funds. His writings are awesome! Or just read "The Quants" http://www.amazon.ca/The-Quants-Whizzes-Conquered-Destroyed/... as he's featured prominently in it. https://www.aqr.com/cliffs-perspective/
关于文艺复兴科技（Rentec），唯一一本讲他们历史还算体面的书就是《宽客》。还有其他的吗？https://www.amazon.com/Quants-Whizzes-Conquered-Street-Destr...
Regarding Rentec, the only decent book on their history has been in "The Quants". Are there any others? https://www.amazon.com/Quants-Whizzes-Conquered-Street-Destr...
几本我很喜欢的金融书（经常重读）。这些书更多是讲人物和故事，不像传统的非虚构作品。伊曼纽尔·德曼的《宽客人生》（My Life as a Quant）、斯科特·帕特森的《宽客》（The Quants）、爱德华·索普的《战胜一切市场的人》（A Man for All Markets）、埃德温·勒菲弗的《股票大作手回忆录》（Reminiscences of a Stock Operator）、迈克尔·刘易斯的《闪击手》（Flash Boys）
Some finance books I love (and reread frequently). These books are more about characters and stories, more than traditional non-fiction. My Life as a Quant by Emanuel Derman The Quants by Scott Patterson A Man for All Markets by Edward O. Thorp Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre Flash Boys by Michael Lewis
你或许可以看看斯科特·帕特森写的一本叫《宽客》的书。他里面大篇幅讲了奖章基金（Medallion）。包括成立初期的故事、搞语音识别的那帮人，等等。
You might want to take a look at a book entitled "The Quants" by Scott Patterson. He talks extensively about Medallion. Inception, speech recognition people, etc.
我推荐斯科特·帕特森写的《黑池》（Dark Pools）和《宽客》。迈克尔·刘易斯的《闪击手》读起来挺有意思（他是个很会讲故事的人），但我听说有人说那书不太准确。
Id recommend "Dark Pools" and "The Quants" both by Scott Patterson. "Flash Boys" is a fun read since its written by Michael Lewis(good storyteller) but Ive heard have claim it isnt very accurate.
