Timbo have you seen the movie 'Margin Call' ? It's one of my favourites about a guy who stumbles upon how screwed his company will be pre-GFC. Anyway, he is some mad rocket scientist dude and makes a similar comment in the movie about applying the maths from his previous area of expertise into his trading. Highly recommend it if you have not seen it (Kevin Spacey and a bunch of other well known actors in it too)
