"The Financial Data Science Handbook: Tools, Techniques, and Best Practices"

Financial data science now sits at the core of investment research, systematic trading, and risk management. This handbook is written for quantitative analysts, data scientists, and technically minded finance professionals who want to move beyond ad hoc spreadsheets and black-box models toward rigorous, production-grade workflows. Blending mathematical clarity with implementation detail, it provides a single, coherent reference for building, evaluating, and deploying data-driven strategies in modern markets.

Readers will progress from the mathematical foundations of linear algebra, probability, and optimization to a full machine learning stack tailored to financial data: feature engineering on time-ordered panels, robust validation, and interpretable models. Along the way, the book covers market microstructure, multi-asset pricing intuition, portfolio and risk management, and time series forecasting, all underpinned by realistic backtesting practices. Advanced chapters introduce deep learning, transformers, graph methods, and alternative data, while the closing sections emphasize MLOps, monitoring, and model governance so that models remain reliable, auditable, and compliant in production.

A working knowledge of Python and basic statistics is recommended, but all key concepts are developed from first principles with reproducible patterns in mind. Structured as a practical, LaTeX-friendly reference, the handbook is designed both for systematic study and for selective consultation when tackling sp
