If you know a little bit about financial mathematics but don't yet know a lot about programming, then C++ for Financial Mathematics is for you. C++ is an essential skill for many jobs in quantitative finance, but learning it can be a daunting prospect. This book gathers together everything you need to know to price deriv

This classroom-tested text provides a deep understanding of derivative contracts. Unlike much of the existing literature, the book treats price as a number of units of one asset needed for an acquisition of a unit of another asset instead of expressing prices in dollar terms exclusively. This numeraire approach leads to simpler pricing options for complex products, such as barrier, lookback, quanto, and Asian options. With many examples and exercises, the text relies on intuition and basic principles, rather than technical computations.

This textbook is designed to enable students with little knowledge of mathematical analysis to engage with modern quantitative finance. The exposition of the topics is concise as chapters are intended to represent a preliminary contact with the mathematical concepts used in QF.

Intended for practitioners, researchers and graduate students in quantitative finance, computer science and related fields, this book serves as a handbook for design and implementation of financial models with relevant numerical methods on different HPC platforms in banks, insurance companies, pensions, asset-management companies and trading firms.

This book explains how to study risk embedded in financial transactions between the bank and its counterparty. The authors provide an analytical basis for the quantitative methodology of dynamic valuation, mitigation, and hedging of bilateral counterparty risk on over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts under funding constraints. They explore
