Paul Wilmott on Quantitative Finance, Second Edition
provides a thoroughly updated look at derivatives and financial
engineering, published in three volumes with additional CD-ROM.



Volume 1: Mathematical and Financial Foundations; Basic
Theory of Derivatives; Risk and Return.
The reader is introduced to the fundamental mathematical tools and
financial concepts needed to understand quantitative finance,
portfolio management and derivatives. Parallels are drawn between
the respectable world of investing and the not-so-respectable world
of gambling.


Volume 2: Exotic Contracts and Path Dependency; Fixed Income
Modeling and Derivatives; Credit Risk
In this volume the reader sees further applications of stochastic
mathematics to new financial problems and different markets.


Volume 3: Advanced Topics; Numerical Methods and
Programs.
In this volume the reader enters territory rarely seen in
textbooks, the cutting-edge research. Numerical methods are also
introduced so that the models can now all be accurately and quickly
solved.


Throughout the volumes, the author has included numerous
Bloomberg screen dumps to illustrate in real terms the points he
raises, together with essential Visual Basic code, spreadsheet
explanations of the models, the reproduction of term sheets and
option classification tables. In addition to the practical
orientation of the book the author himself also appears throughout
the book?in cartoon form, readers will be relieved to
hear?to personally highlight and explain the key sections and
issues discussed.
