Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies gives a talk at MIT about his background in mathematics, how he got his start in business, and the "secret sauce" of running a hedge fund with a quantitative bent.
As Paul Kedrosky notes on his blog, it's not often that you get to hear from Simons, so have a look at this video and hear what he has to say about his work and the importance of getting young people involved in math and science.
