Help me in Business Analysis and Quants

There are mathematical links between physics and finance that go back at least to 1900, when Frenchman Louis Bachelier wrote his Theory of Speculation, in which he used the mathematics of a random walk to analyse fluctuations on the Paris stock exchange. ref: The Guardian

No wonder why Guardian published: According to a report published last year by the Institute of Physics, of those in employment one year after graduation, a job in “finance” was second only in popularity to a job in “education”. 

My days of number crunching, particle theory and relativity had made me a better manager in finance, economics and emotion. Physics trained me to put rigor and quantitative outlook to any problem. A blog on my college days.
