James Weatherall ’01 and The Physics of Wall Street Delbarton alumnus James Weatherall ’01 is attracting a lot of attention with his new book The Physics of Wall Street. The book made The New York Times bestseller list and was selected as an Editor’s Choice. Much of Weatherall’s book is, according to the Times reviewer, “an entertaining and enlightening tale of the history of finance and gambling” but the book is also about the future and why it makes sense to look at physics and other sciences to solve economic problems. In defense of the practical application of scientific thinking Weatherall writes, “We use mathematical models cut from the same cloth to build bridges and to design airplane engines, to plan the electric grid and to launch spacecraft. If you don’t trust them, why are you driving over the George Washington Bridge?” Weatherall is an assistant professor of logic and philosophy of science at the University of California, Irvine where he is also a member of the Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Science. He has two Ph.D.’s – one in physics and mathematics, and one in philosophy – and lives in Irvine, CA with his wife and two daughters.
