Also worth reading about is his co-founder & the former chief scientist at renaissance, Nick Patterson. If there's anyone whose literally a "mad scientist" he's it (in a good way). A close friend of mine at MIT collaborates with Nick, and when we asked why he left finance to return to academia he said "well, James is into boats and he wanted a bigger one". Nonetheless, both great guys. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/12/science/12prof.html?pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/12/science/12prof.html?pagewa...
