This vignette-based business biography captures the essence of an extraordinary man and a giant in the world of finance. After years of research and cooperation from nearly all of Black's associates, family members, and friends, author Mehrling explains the ground-breaking impact Fischer Black had on money, finance, and the world markets. You'll follow Black from his undergraduate studies in physics, mathematics, and computer programming to one of the most elite of firms on Wall Street, where he developed quantitative models that are still widely used today. Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance demystifies this genius and provides an engaging look at a man whose life's work encapsulates modern financial theory.
