Python已成为数据驱动和AI优先的金融界的编程语言。一些投资银行和对冲基金现在都使用Python及其生态系统来构建核心交易和风险管理系统。
　　在《Python金融大数据分析（第2版 影印版）》的第二版中，YvesHilpisch向开发人员和定量分析师展示了如何使用Python包和工具进行金融数据科学、算法交易和计算金融学。第二版针对Python3进行了更新，其中的大部分代码都采用了JupyterNotebooks的形式，为几乎所有的示例提供了可执行交互式版本。在共5部分内容中，你将学习到Python及其生态系统是如何为从事金融业务的公司和个人提供技术框架的。

　　Yves Hilpisch，The Python Quans的创始人和任事股东，该集团专注于用于金融数据科学、人工智能、算法交易和计算金融的开源技术的使用。他也是The AI Machine的创始人和CEO，该公司专注于利用通过专有策略执行平台进行的算法交易的人工智能的力量。Yves还是最终成为University Certificatein Python for Algorithmic Trading的首位在线培训计划的负责人。
