Some of them we do not know anymore, others are familiar to everyone. Of course, there are many more remarkable women who would be worth to be introduced in this book and it is clear to everyone that those presented here are just a small selection.” (Marita Blankenhagel, zbMATH 1523.01001, 2023) Author InformationDr Lars Jaeger, 53, studied physics, mathematics, philosophy and history in Bonn and Paris and spent several years researching in theoretical physics, particularly in the field of quantum field theories and chaos theory (University of Bonn, Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems Dresden). He has lived near Zurich for more than 25 years, where he has built up two companies of his own, using mathematical methods to model global capital markets and construct systemic trading models from them.
