The financial industry has recently adopted Python at a tremendous rate, with some of the largest investment banks and hedge funds using it to build core trading and risk management systems. Updated for Python 3, the second edition of this hands-on book helps you get started with the language, guiding developers and quantitative analysts through Python libraries and tools for building financial applications and interactive financial analytics.

Using practical examples throughout the book, author Yves Hilpisch also shows you how to develop a full-fledged framework for Monte Carlo simulation-based derivatives and risk analytics, based on a large, realistic case study. Much of the book uses interactive IPython Notebooks.

Why Python for Finance

Python is a high-level, multipurpose programming language that is used in a wide range of domains and technical fields. Python is used by the beginner programmer as well as by the highly skilled expert developer, at schools, in universities, at web companies, in large corporations and financial institutions, as well as in any scientific field.

Python as a language—and even more so as an ecosystem—is an ideal technological framework for the financial industry as whole and the individual working in finance alike. It is characterized by a number of benefits, like an elegant syntax, efficient development approaches, and usability for prototyping as well as production. With its huge amount of available packages, libraries, and tools, Python seems to have answers to most questions raised by recent developments in the financial industry in terms of analytics, data volumes and frequency, compliance and regulation, as well as technology itself.

It has the potential to provide a single, powerful, consistent framework with which to streamline end-to-end development and production efforts even across larger financial institutions.

In addition, Python has become the programming language of choice for artificial intelligence in general and machine and deep learning in particular. Python is therefore the right language for data-driven finance as well as for AI-first finance, two recent trends that are about to reshape finance and the financial industry in fundamental ways.
