Financial calculus: An introduction to derivative pricing by Martin Baxter

By Martin Baxter

This is the 1st rigorous and available account of the math in the back of the pricing, development, and hedging of by-product securities. With mathematical precision and in a method adapted for marketplace practioners, the authors describe key recommendations similar to martingales, swap of degree, and the Heath-Jarrow-Morton version. ranging from discrete-time hedging on binary bushes, the authors increase continuous-time inventory types (including the Black-Scholes method). They tension practicalities together with examples from inventory, foreign money and rate of interest markets, all observed through graphical illustrations with real looking info. The authors supply a whole thesaurus of probabilistic and monetary phrases.

Kiss My Math meets A travel of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in university, typically simply because she-like so much people-assumed that she wouldn't want it in genuine existence. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a metamorphosis of center and made up our minds to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the joys and engaging account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette exhibits how she realized to use calculus to every little thing from fuel mileage to eating regimen, from the rides at Disneyland to taking pictures craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can study the basics of the common language.

A Course in Multivariable Calculus and Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This self-contained textbook supplies a radical exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be considered as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and genuine research, released within the comparable sequence. The emphasis is on correlating normal ideas and result of multivariable calculus with their opposite numbers in one-variable calculus.

Partial Differential Equations V: Asymptotic Methods for Partial Differential Equations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 5)

The six articles during this EMS quantity supply an outline of a few modern recommendations within the research of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those innovations comprise the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of ideas and eigenfunctions, habit of options close to singular issues of alternative types, matching of asymptotic expansions on the subject of a boundary layer, and strategies in inhomogeneous media.
