Used Book in Good Condition
I kinda liked Joshi's book, "The Concepts and Practice of Mathematical Finance" link
I would start with this article by Mark Joshi. It's a little old (2008) but serves well as an introduction.
Now a quick disclaimer, I'm still quite junior and my work falls somewhere between the Desk/Dev roles. Based on your description you'd fall into more into the Model/Research roles. Also these are my opinions ymmv.
W.r.t general finance/economics, I dislike most finance/economics books. I would treat it more like learning a language listen to podcasts, read (good) blogs, non-academic books etc.
Here are some technical books I think are worth reading:
I like Joshi's books The Concepts and Practice of Mathematical Finance, C++ Design Patterns and Derivatives Pricing it assumes basic finace and c++.
Successful Algorithmic Trading. It's an introduction, focuses on methodology andcovers pretty much everything involved with actually designing, testing and implementing a strategy. As you don't know much finace jargon google will be your friend.
Options, Futures and Other Derivatives (Hull), or 'The bible book'. It's included in pretty much every quant finance book list, so I'll include it. My Derivatives elective (via the business school) used this. It's a solid intro, will get you conversational on the topics, and is aimed at MBAs. Read this if you have the time (~900 pages) and finished the two above books.
Complete beginner about to study Mathematical Finance in college.
Should I purchase Options, Futures and Other Derivates (Hull) first, or the Concepts and Practice of Mathematical Finance (Mark Joshi)?
