Ok so this isn’t usually up my alley, because I’m your typical banking/finance hater, but I clicked on it and watched the whole episode like a TV show.
SO FASCINATING. I didn’t know derivatives trading actually had to do with…derivatives.
I also LOVE the explanation of why mathematicians and physicists are involved in finance, it makes me feel less cynical towards finance as an industry.
You should watch this if you’re a STEM-y person, or a history person, or just generally if you don’t understand a lot of what’s going on in the nebulous world of finance.
