Financial Institute Market

John Allen Paulos is Professor of Mathematics at Temple University and writes on a wide range of topics that put mathematics into everyday contexts. A Mathematician Plays the Market considers both the psychology of playing the financial markets and the possibilities of predicting price movements using mathematics and other quantitative methods.

The thread that runs through A Mathematician Plays the Market is Paulos’ losses on WorldCom and his flawed investment approach that he adopted in the face of his mathematical understanding. He got sucked in like many gamblers by the psychology and failure to read the signs and act accordingly. He is entirely candid about his losses and his delusional thinking as he explores each aspect of the mathematics and the psychology of playing the markets.
