Review

“…a very good first textbook on quantitative finance, especially, not only, for mathematics who need introducing into finance”. Zentralblatt MATT May 2008

Product Description

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.

Note: CD–ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Format:Hardcover
Wilmott's book can be thought of as a finance encyclopedia. It covers very large spectrum of points in very accessible manner. I would say that difficulty wise, the book is at the same rung as Hull's book. Nevertheless, it covers more topics and each of them in more depth. I would recomend it for anyone seriously interested in finance.

Worth reading for the personal insight of the authour. However, this is not the book to learn the mathematics of quant finance from. If like me you come from a fairly competent maths and weak business background trying to learn the underling equations and theories from this book will drive you nuts. Read Hull where everything is nicely defined and clear (and the graphs have meaningful captions and the axies are labeled!) first then maybe come back to this one.
