Overview
- Aimed at those who need to understand the mathematics behind the multitude of current financial instruments used in derivative markets, including risk managers and other practitioners
- Begins with the mathematics used in discrete-time models, which can be more simply explained, then moves into the more difficult continuous-time models
- Includes detailed analyses of the famous Black-Scholes theory, American put options, term structure models, and consumption-investment problems
- Provides a clear understanding of pricing and hedging for call and put options
- The mathematics used is accessible
- The mathematics of martingales and stochastic calculus is developed where needed
- The treatment is careful and detailed rather than comprehensive
