    Who wrote this? I haven&#x27;t been able to find an author yet, and the supposed source repo (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;quantitative-finance-with-ocaml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;quantitative-finance-with-ocaml as per <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qcaml.com&#x2F;appendices&#x2F;appendix-e-setup&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qcaml.com&#x2F;appendices&#x2F;appendix-e-setup&#x2F; ) is a 404.

      Good observation. Also there is some funny stuff with what the book say referenced appendices do and what those actually explain

      At the end of chapter 30 we have:

         Next: Appendix A — OCaml Setup and Tooling
      But the after the chapter 30, follows the chapter 31, and Appendix A is called

          Appendix A: Ocaml Quick Reference
      And the link is a dead link.

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pangram.com&#x2F;history&#x2F;4429c019-cdb9-4ce4-bd4d-2ff74bfca596?ucc=t8c6BkzVOh8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pangram.com&#x2F;history&#x2F;4429c019-cdb9-4ce4-bd4d-2ff7...

    This is just the first chapter but don’t expect anything different for the rest.

      I wonder if the prompt was: “write a quantitative finance with ocaml book. Make no mistakes”

        Probably more like &#x27;Here&#x27;s a quantitative finance book, port over all the code to OCaml&#x27;

      Thanks for the link, the summary structure was the same as a handbook on quantitative finance that i had read briefly in the past and it confirmed the impression i got whilst consulting that website.

    A lot of this is completely wrong for their Java comparisons.

    It looks very AI-generated.
