As a technical architect in a non financial field (telecoms) I bought this hoping it would do what is said, and introduce me to financial technology (in my mind, and in the publishers reviews, this implied aspects of technology, and technology domain knowledge specific to the finance industry)Instead, I'm 6 chapters in, I've read page after page of financial formulas, I've digested the roughly 40% of the book that is recounting historical footnotes to finance (history of the chappe telegraph? intellectual property disputes about morse code), and waded through irrelevant diversions in fields such as "Combining voltage and current sources".
While all this is interesting enough, if I wanted to SO much about the details of financial calculations I would have bought a book "Financial Formulas".If I wanted to know SO much about history, then I would have bought a book called "History of Financial Technology".As it is, I bought a book called "Financial Technology" and I've learnt very little so far about it.
