Description

Эдвард О. Торп — легендарный математик, разработавший методику подсчета карт, доказавший, что можно обыграть дилера в блэкджеке и на финансовых рынках. В мемуарах Торп рассказывает о своем пути от игры в казино до Уолл-Стрит и о рождении современной финансовой математики. Книга рассказывает об идеях теории вероятностей, риск-менеджмента и инвестиционных стратегий, которые повлияли на развитие современной финансовой математики. Это портрет целеустремленного и систематического человека, посвятившего себя поиску знаний, финансовой безопасности и удовольствию от интеллектуального труда.
