Add to basketNeuware - This book will:Show the reader how to get started quickly: Although the Python programming language is a powerful object-oriented language, it's easy to learn, especially for programmers already familiar with C or C++.Show the reader how to write less code: Comparisons of program metrics (class counts, method counts, and so on) suggest that a program written in the Python programming language can be four times smaller than the same program written in C++.Show the reader how to write better code: The Python programming language encourages good coding practices, and automatic garbage collection helps you avoid memory leaks.Show the reader how to develop programs more quickly: The Python programming language is simpler than C++, and as such, your development time could be up to twice as fast when writing in it. 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.

I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes...
**Right of withdrawal for consumers **

Cancellation
Withdrawal
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without giving reasons.
The revocation period is fourteen days from the day,
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods, provided that you have ordered one or more goods within the framework of a uniform order and these are or will be delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods, provided that you have ordered several goods within the framework of a single order and these are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last partial shipment or the last piece, provided that you have ordered goods that are delivered in several partial shipments or pieces;
In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (AHA-BUCH GmbH, Garlebsen 48, 37574 Einbeck, telephone number: 05563 9996039, fax number: 05563 9995974, e-mail address: service@aha-buch.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.B. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.
To comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of revocation
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract.
For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days.
You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You only have to pay for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary to check the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Reasons for exclusion or extinction
The right of revocation does not apply to contracts
The right of revocation expires prematurely in the case of contracts
