Journal of Statistical Physics, 2008 ... aside from its teaching qualities the book is a pleasure to read even for the expert. I warmly recommend this book for both, the beginner and the professional.
H. Eugene Stanley, Physics Today, 2008 Other departures from traditional mathematical finance texts make Lax's book a refreshing and much clearer read ... One hopes that this text will inspire other physics students to continue Lax's legacy and contribute to this growing, diverse field.
Rosario Nunzio Mantegna, Nature Physics Random Processes in Physics and Finance is a great book on classical aspects of random processes in physics.
