A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market
- Synopsis
-
Paulos (Temple University) engagingly explains probability, chaos theory, and other rational/irrational mysteries of the universe, in this case those relevant to the odds of success in playing the stock market. Drawing from his failed investment in World Com, he explores stock newsletter scams, self-fulfilling beliefs and data mining, the Euro and the golden ratio, the P/E ratio, short-selling and margin buying, and economic disparity. The hardcover edition was published in 2003. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
