Mathematical Models of Financial Derivatives (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains a comprehensive account of pricing models of financial derivatives, including exotic equity options, interest rate products and credit derivatives. It presents a self-contained treatment of risk neutral valuation theory, martingale measure, and tools in stochastic calculus required for the understanding of option pricing theory. Derivative pricing models are solved using various approaches, by martingale pricing theory and partial differential equation method. This text is targeted for students in mathematical finance. It also serves as a good reference for quantitative analysts and derivative traders in investment banks. Research results and concepts are made accessible to the reader through extensive set of exercises.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Mathematical Models of Financial Derivatives is a ... comprehensive collection of known facts and techniques, as well as a methodologically thought-through textbook on derivative pricing in financial markets. The book is written both for a novice who will profit from its numerous and well-conceived exercises, and a practitioner who wants to brush up on finer points of the classical pricing theory behind a specific financial product. ... it will certainly attract many a non-mathematician with an interest in quantitative methods in finance ... ." (Gordan Zitkovic, The Mathematical Association of America, March, 2009)

"This book is written mainly as a textbook of modeling on derivative pricing theory for the students in financial engineering, computational finance etc. It provides basic knowledge of mathematical theory and applications of the financial derivatives. ... This book can also be used as an Instructor's Manual of reference of those in financial institutions." (Gong Guanglu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1146, 2008)
