How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution
Book •
This book tells the gripping story of how Jim Simons, a world-class mathematician and former code breaker, mastered the financial markets.

Simons' firm, Renaissance Technologies, achieved unprecedented success with its Medallion fund, generating average annual returns of 66 percent since 1988.

The book, based on unprecedented access to Simons and his team, details how Simons hired mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists to develop algorithms that identified deeply hidden patterns in market data.
