Description

During the last years the number of physicists interested in the analysis and modelling of financial markets for academic and/or professional reasons is rapidly increased. Finance is today more and more a quantitative discipline and risk management is a multidisciplinary task needing several professionals to be performed at a top level. Physicists concur to these activities and to the modelling of a fascinating 'complex system' with their professional and conceptual background.
