Approaching a new highly abstract and complex technical subject,
especially as a student, has much in common with the mountaineer's
approach to a mountain: both present a daunting challenge to be
overcome at high cost of effort--we fear for our very survival.
"In "Introduction to Financial Technology", Roy Freedman proves
himself a steadfast and expert guide right from the beginning of
the journey.
Like a trusty Sherpa, he does all the heavy lifting for us even in
the ever-thinning air of our journey up the steep Himalayan slopes
of the financial and technological abstractions of the modern
discipline that is financial technology. All in all, I found
Freedman's treatment of the financial application of computer
algorithms and financial technology quite thorough and highly
informative and well written." --Raymond Nolting, Executive Project
Manager/Senior Business Analyst, B-Trade Services L.L.C./Division
of the Bank of New York
"One would not expect a book on financial technology to be
so...well...gripping. Freedman provides an interesting survey of
the history of financial technology as well as the technological
tools used today. This book is a must read for any true student of
the market, especially as high technology becomes ever more
pervasive in the analysis and operation of financial markets."
--Ben Van Vliet, Associate Director, M.S. Financial Markets, Center
for Financial Markets, Illinois Institute of Technology
