Short description The pricing of derivative instruments has always been a highly complex and time-consuming activity. Advances in technology, however, have enabled much quicker and more accurate pricing through mathematical rather than analytical models. In this book Juergen Topper attempts to bridge the divide between finance and mathematics by applying this proven mathematical technique to the financial markets. Utilizing practical examples and aided by easy to use computer programs, the author systematically describes the processes involved in a manner accessible to those without a deep understanding of mathematics.
