Synopsis

In an increasingly crowded field of financial engineering titles, Seydel's Tools for Computational Finance stands out as filling an unmet need. It is an intermediate level text with an extremely practical focus...This is the kind of book you can read quickly, gaining a broad understanding of practical techniques of financial engineering. On the other hand, you can go through it slowly, working through all the examples and exercises in order to gain indepth practical knowledge you can use on the job.

From the Back Cover

This book is very easy to read and one can gain a quick snapshot of computational issues arising in financial mathematics. Researchers or students of the mathematical sciences with an interest in finance will find this book a very helpful and gentle guide to the world of financial engineering. SIAM review (46, 2004). The fourth edition is thoroughly revised and extended. Major revisions concern topics like calibration, Monte Carlo Methods, American options, exotic options and Algorithms for Bermuda Options. New figures, more exercises, more background material make this guide to the world of financial engineering a real must-to-have for everyone working in FE.
