An Introduction to Econophysics: Correlations and Complexity in Finance by R. N. Mantegna and H. E. Stanley, pdf free download

This book concerns the use of concepts from statistical physics in the description of financial systems. Specifically, the authors illustrate the scaling concepts used in probability theory, in critical phenomena, and in fully developed turbulent fluids. These concepts are then applied to financial time series to gain new insights into the behavior of financial markets. The authors also present a new stochastic model that displays several of the statistical properties observed in empirical data.

This book fulfills all the topics that are required for Tribhuvan University B. Sc. 4th year Physics Students. And it is also the official textbook for this course. For B.Sc.
