""Quants"--Those who design and implement mathematical models for the pricing of derivatives, assessment of risk, or prediction of market movements - are the backbone of today's investment industry. As the greater volatility of current financial markets has driven investors to seek shelter from increasing uncertainty, the quant revolution has given people the opportunity to avoid unwanted financial risk by literally trading it away, or more specifically, paying someone else to take on the unwanted risk."
