Aus dem Klappentext

Applied Math for derivatives offers a guide to the economics and valuation of financial derivative instruments which does not require a math degree to understand. It is deliberately targeted at those practitioners and students who wish to move beyond the algebra to the actual implementation of pricing and valuation models - often the difficult part of any derivative modelling exercise. Detailed coverage is provided for forwards, futures, swaps and options across interest rate, currency and equity markets.The book provides a ?hands on? guide to the deconstruction of derivative instruments into their underlying building books based on the fundamental principals of valuation: the ?law? of equivalent value; the time value of money; and modelling uncertainty.The book develops more than eighty operational derivative valuation models from first principals covering forwards, swaps and options.

A disk accompanies the book, which provides working spreadsheet models for all of the major instruments as well as addressing risk management issues such as delta hedge effectiveness and new issue arbitrage. In addition to the detailed information on valuation, the book also provides insights into the drivers behind the development of derivative markets and handy hints on the construction of valuation models.
