Graph Theory & Network Analysis in Quantitative Finance: A Practical Guide to Systemic Risk, Market Structures, and

Discover the Power of Graph Theory & Network Analysis in Financial Markets
Financial markets are complex networks of assets, institutions, and investors, where hidden connections drive risk, volatility, and market behavior. Graph theory and network analysis provide cutting-edge techniques to analyze these relationships, uncover market inefficiencies, and enhance trading strategies.

This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between mathematics, data science, and finance, equipping you with practical tools to model systemic risk, market topology, and capital flows using graph-based techniques.
