This mathematician did write a book some years ago about the stock market. I did not read it because I thought the markets were too complicated to be understood, even by the creator of the Fractal that bears his name.

I guess I was wrong, I should have read it. Now I would be more prepared to make sense of the gyrations at Wall Street.

You can read above a note from Scientific American about what Mathematics can teach us in daily life.
