The Physics of Wall Street, from David Hillman
I was looking at the book The Physics of Wall Street on Amazon.
It couldn't have a better recommendation:
"Beautifully written, with clarity, understanding, and a broad view that is rare in these domains. Even those of us who are unconvinced physics has played an important role in finance will be carried along and learn from this engaging book."
—Stephen M. Stigler, Ernest DeWitt Burton Distinguished Service Professor of Statistics, University of Chicago
Here's another book on unusual physics applications: The Physics of Superheroes
Seemed somehow related. An enjoyable read, though it might have been better if Taleb, Sornette, Mandelbrot, Gross and Greenspan had been included.
