Acknowledgments

We are a lot like a turtle on top of a fencepost—it's obvious we didn't get here alone. We have had enormous support from many colleagues, friends, and family in making this book a reality. First and foremost, Dr. Gray would like to thank Jack Vogel for his outstanding research and amazing dedication to accomplishing the mission. David Foulke played an integral role in the development of the book and made the book more accessible to “nonquants.” Carl Kanner and the rest of the crew at Empiritrage, LLC—Cliff Gray, Yang Xu, Tao Wang, and Shenglan Zhang—read and reread the manuscript, ensuring it was democratizing quant at every step along the way. Katie Gray also played a key role in drafting the initial manuscript, ensuring it was easy to read and free of errors. Dr. Gray would also like to thank Drexel University's LeBow College of Business, and particularly his colleagues in the Department of Finance, for supporting his research agenda. Jared Wilson served as a dedicated research assistant and offered excellent advice and insights throughout the book-writing process. A number of colleagues at other institutions, notably Hui Chen at MIT, Steve Crawford at Rice University, Gil Sadka at Columbia, and Richard Price at Rice University, also provided valuable insights along the way. Robert Kanner and Edward Stern have been unfailing mentors in many of Dr. Gray's endeavors and particularly supportive in the development of the book, for which he is eternally grateful. ...
