Synopsis
Contents are same as US/UK editions. An innovative and easily accessible textbook for students in financial mathematics, financial engineering and economics, this book provides a rigorous overview of the subject. Each chapter presents mathematical models of financial problems at three different degrees of sophistication: single-period, multi-period, and continuous-time. The single-period and multi-period models require only basic calculus and an introductory probability/statistics course, while an advanced undergraduate course in probability is helpful in understanding the continuous-time models. In this way, the material is given complete coverage at different levels; the less advanced student can stop before the more sophisticated mathematics and still be able to grasp the general principles of financial economics. "This is a sophisticated yet highly readable introduction to the most important ideas of modern financial economics by two leading experts in mathematical finance." - ANDREW W. LO, Harris & Harris Group Professor, Sloan School, MIT "This book provides a very clear and readable approach to the structure, background, and theory of modern financial markets. It can easily be used as a text for a graduate course in quantitative finance and as a reference by practitioners. Unlike more mathematical treatments, however, most of its content should also be accessible to good MBA students." - ROBERT J. ELLIOTT, RBC Financial Group Professor of Finance, University of Calgary "This book is the first of its kind-an accessible but rigorous treatment of classic dynamic asset-pricing models, appropriate for master's-level or introductory doctoral courses, and suitable for students from various fields, including economics, finance, or applied mathematics. An excellent contribution." - DARRELL DUFFIE, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
