Description

The financial technology environment is a dynamic, high-pressured, fast-paced world in which developing fast and efficient buy-and-sell order processing systems and order executing (clearing and settling) systems is of primary importance. The orders involved come from an ever-changing network of people (traders, brokers, market makers) and technology. To prepare people to succeed in this environment, seasoned financial technology veteran Roy Freedman presents both the technology and the finance side in this comprehensive overview of this dynamic area. He covers the broad range of topics involved in this industry--including auction theory, databases, networked computer clusters, back-office operations, derivative securities, regulation, compliance, bootstrap statistics, optimization, and risk management―in order to present an in-depth treatment of the current state-of-the-art in financial technology.Each chapter concludes with a list of exercises; a list of references; a list of websites for further information; and case studies.With amazing clarity, Freedman explains both the technology side and the finance side of financial technologyAccessible to both finance professionals needing to upgrade their technology knowledge and technology specialists needing to upgrade their finance knowledge Read more

    • Behind time.
The paradox here is, when it comes to technologies, we are never ever refreshingly updated. When we are talking about technologies, we are out of date the next second. More so considering fin-techs being applied in the industry nowadays. Not to mention it's a printed publication, a book. Freedman's course could be a very general, conceptual intro class, in case you find some area that you really like to dig deep in. Or a GPA booster as well. ... show more

    • not great on kindle
The book's content is great. The explanation of mathematical concepts with examples and history blew my mind on several occasions. However, the Kindle version was pretty awful. Many of the equations didn't show up correctly and also many don't resize correctly when the font is resized. Of course charts and graphs are hard to view on a small kindle screen but the equations were sometimes unreadable. If the equations showed up correctly I'd give this book 5 stars. If I were solely rating the kindle version I'd probably give it only one star. ... show more

    • Covers almost all aspects of financial technology
I took the course with professor Freedman. The class and book were in depth, comprehensive and introduced many real world and historical examples. It was not a slow read either.

    • Lots of history, lots of finance, very little technology
As a technical architect in a non financial field (telecoms) I bought this hoping it would do what is said, and introduce me to financial technology (in my mind, and in the publishers reviews, this implied aspects of technology, and technology domain knowledge specific to the finance industry) Instead, I'm 6 chapters in, I've read page after page of financial formulas, I've digested the roughly 40% of the book that is recounting historical footnotes to finance (history of the chappe telegraph? intellectual property disputes about morse code), and waded through irrelevant diversions in fields such as "Combining voltage and current sources". While all this is interesting enough, if I wanted to SO much about the details of financial calculations I would have bought a book "Financial Formulas". If I wanted to know SO much about history, then I would have bought a book called "History of Financial Technology". As it is, I bought a book called "Financial Technology" and I've learnt very little so far about it. ... show more

    • Excellent Book
I will never ever regret buying this book. It has a lot of information in Finance, Technology, Mathimatics, History (True Stories) and more than that. It seems that the author of the book had put tremendous efforts in writing such a fabuous book like that. It is interesting and exciting for reading. It's priced well below its value. I highly recommend it. ... show more
