Swaps, futures, options, structured instruments - a wide range of
derivative products is traded in today's financial markets. Analyzing,
pricing and managing such products often requires fairly sophisticated
quantitative tools and methods. This book serves as an introduction to
financial mathematics with special emphasis on aspects relevant in
practice. In addition to numerous illustrative examples, algorithmic
implementations are demonstrated using "Mathematica" and the software
package "UnRisk" (available for both students and teachers). The content
is organized in 15 chapters that can be treated as independent modules.
In particular, the exposition is tailored for classroom use in a
Bachelor or Master program course, as well as for practitioners who wish
to further strengthen their quantitative background.
