Product Description

Review
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:
"An excellent treatment of the mathematics underlying the pricing of derivatives."
—JOHN HULL, University of Toronto

"This book will be a major convenience to derivatives traders, risk managers, and other users and developers of derivatives models. It greatly reduces the cost of entry into the mathematical world of valuation, hedging, and risk measurement for derivatives positions."
—J. DARRELL DUFFIE, Stanford University

PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION:
"As an introduction to the mathematics underlying the pricing of derivatives, the book succeeds admirably."
—JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC LITERATURE

"This book is a self-contained first step into mathematical finance, and it covers the fundamentals of the topic beautifully. The conclusions and references at the end of each chapter are very useful. The former provides a broad picture of each chapter's content. The latter offer invaluable links for those who would like a more detailed discussion..."
—SIAM Review (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics)

5.0 out of 5 stars A key book to start with if you want to study derivatives, 13 Feb 2001
Professor Neftci has once again provided a strong and yet not over-technical introduction to the mathematics of derivatives. An ideal springboard to launch into deeper study, and particularly suited to Masters and starting PhD students, as well as a good reference source for quants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best resource I've seen to learn ito calculus for finance, 9 Dec 2002
By A Customer
i have read a lot of quant finance books and looked at a number of sources focussed to the mandatory mathematical understanding but this is the only example so far that i have been compelled to finish. the book starts at the beginning and takes a clearly well considered approach to the methodical exposition of all the concepts leading to the application of stochastic differential equations in derivatives pricing. further i think that for most practitioners, all but the real math enthusiasts, this is a self contained guide to the math used in practise.

as a result i feel indebted to the author for very real-world useful expositions that I couldnt seem to grasp elsewhere. very good job indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Book, 8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
After sitting through several weeks of a derivative pricing course in total confusion Neftci has finally helped clear the fog. THis is the fourth book I have tried on the subject and the first one that provides a logical, clear and simple path that starts from the beginning.

A good introductrion book.
