Request a sales quotePrinciples of Financial Engineering, Fourth Edition presents 5 significantly revised chapters and revisions throughout. It introduces new important derivative products and regulatory changes that affect derivatives markets while maintaining the consistency of its pedagogical philosophy. It explores the discontinuation of IBOR (Inter-bank offered rates) such as LIBOR and its implications. Increased pedagogical elements - such as solutions, case studies, spreadsheets, sample exams, and slides - help instructors design courses appropriate for their students. At the same time it provides freely-accessible solutions to all exercises in every chapter and additional password-protected materials for instructors. Written for students and practitioners who want to learn the practicalities of the financial markets, not their theories; it is fundamentally practical.
- Favors accessibility and clarity without sacrificing mathematical rigor
- Assumes the perspective of a market maker (a dealer trading securities on his own account), creating a natural link to the concepts of pricing and replication
- Emphasizes problem solving and the topicality of subjects through use of actual data and news stories
Beginning graduate students, professors, and practitioners worldwide working in finance and financial economics. The book targets courses on derivatives and financial engineering at the MSc, MBA Finance, and executive education levels
