Your programs will also require fewer lines of code.Chapter by chapter this book gradually builds up a practical body of code that will serve as an extensible financial engineering system in python. The book uses the Black-Scholes example to begin the building of the python package that will house the code that will be presented as the book progresses.Contents1 Welcome to Python1.1 Why Python 1.1.1 Python is a high-level programming language1.1.2 Python 'plays well with others'1.1.3 Common misconceptions about Python1.2 Roadmap for this book2 First steps with Python2.1 The Black-Scholes Formula2.2 Modules and Packages2.3 Unit-testing3 Extending Python from C++3.1 Boost.Datetime types3.2 Boost.MultiArray types4 Basic Mathematical Tools4.1 Random number generation4.2 N(.)4.3 Interpolation4.3.1 Interpolation in a single dimension4.3.2 Interpolation in multiple-dimensions4.4 Root-finding4.4.1 Bisection Method4.4.2 Newton-Raphson Method4.5 Quadrature4.5.1 Hermite4.5.2 Piecewise constant polynomial integration4.6 Linear Algebra4.6.1 Matrix Inversion4.6.2 Singular Value Decomposition4.6.3 Solving Tridiagonal Systems4.6.4 Solving linear systems4.6.5 Pseudo square root5 Curve and surface construction5.1 Discount Factor Curves5.2 Caplet Volatility Curves5.3 Intensity Curves5.4 Swaption Volatility Skew Cube6 Pricing using Numerical Methods6.1 Monte-Carlo pricing framework6.2 A lattice pricing framework7 The Hull-White model7.1 A component based design7.1.1 The state7.1.2 The cache7.1.3 The requestor7.1.4 The filler7.1.5 The rollback7.1.6 The evolve7.2 Pricing a Bermudan7.3 Pricing a TARN8 Hybrid Python/C++ Pricing SystemsAppendices1 A Survey of Python Programming Tools.2 Hull-White model.

This book is directed at both industry practitioners and students interested in designing a pricing and risk management framework for financial derivatives using the Python programming language.
It is a practical book complete with working, tested code that guides the reader through the process of building a flexible, extensible pricing framework in Python. The pricing frameworks' loosely coupled fundamental components have been designed to facilitate the quick development of new models. Concrete applications to real-world pricing problems are also provided.
Topics are introduced gradually, each building on the last. They include basic mathematical algorithms, common algorithms from numerical analysis, trade, market and event data model representations, lattice and simulation based pricing, and model development. The mathematics presented is kept simple and to the point.
The book also provides a host of information on practical technical topics such as C++/Python hybrid development (embedding and extending) and techniques for integrating Python based programs with Microsoft Excel.
CHRISTOPHER GARDNER has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from King's College, London. He began his career working for UKAEA Fusion at Culham Laboratory before moving to the City of London. He has 10 years experience working as a Quantitative analyst. He is currently working on the pricing of Life derivatives for the Asset Management Pricing Desk at Swiss Re.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
