Book Descriptions:

The disciplines of financial engineering and numerical computation differ greatly, however computational methods are used in a number of ways across the field of finance. It is the aim of this book to explain how such methods work in financial engineering; specifically the use of numerical methods as tools for computational finance. By concentrating on the field of option pricing, a core task of financial engineering and risk analysis, this book explores a wide range of computational tools in a coherent and focused manner and will be of use to the entire field of computational finance. Starting with an introductory chapter that presents the financial and stochastic background, the remainder of the book goes on to detail computational methods using both stochastic and deterministic approaches.

Now in its fifth edition, Tools for Computational Finance has been significantly revised and contains:

• A new chapter on incomplete markets which links to new appendices on Viscosity solutions and the Dupire equation;
• Several new parts throughout the book such as that on the calculation of sensitivities (Sect. 3.7) and the introduction of penalty methods and their application to a two-factor model (Sect. 6.7)
• Additional material in the field of analytical methods including Kim’s integral representation and its computation
• Guidelines for comparing algorithms and judging their efficiency
• An extended chapter on finite elements that now includes a discussion of two-asset options
• Additional exercises, figures and references

Written from the perspective of an applied mathematician, methods are introduced as tools within the book for immediate and straightforward application. A ‘learning by calculating’ approach is adopted throughout this book enabling readers to explore several areas of the financial world.

Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will appeal to advanced undergraduate students in mathematics, engineering and other scientific disciplines as well as professionals in financial engineering.

This book and that is qualified as The Hungry Hills can get you closer in turning out to be precious person. By looking up and review this book you can get many advantages.

Keven Peterson:

What is your hobby? Have you heard this question when you got pupils? We believe that that issue was given by teacher to the students. Many kinds of hobby, All people has different hobby. And you know that little person such as reading or as reading become their hobby. You must know that reading is very important and book as to be the thing. Book is important thing to incorporate you knowledge, except your own teacher or lecturer. You get good news or update regarding something by book. Different categories of books that can you decide to try be your object. One of them is this Tools for Computational Finance (Universitext).

Denise Wentzel:

Reading a reserve make you to get more knowledge from it. You can take knowledge and information from the book. Book is published or printed or illustrated from each source in which filled update of news. On this modern era like right now, many ways to get information are available for anyone. From media social such as newspaper, magazines, science publication, encyclopedia, reference book, story and comic. You can add your understanding by that book. Are you hip to spend your spare time to spread out your book? Or just searching for the Tools for Computational Finance (Universitext) when you essential it?
