"Paul Wilmott Introduces Quantitative Finance, Second Edition" is
an accessible introduction to the classical side of quantitative
finance specifically for university students. Adapted from the
comprehensive, even epic, works "Derivatives" and "Paul Wilmott on
Quantitative Finance, Second Edition," it includes carefully
selected chapters to give the student a thorough understanding of
futures, options and numerical methods. Software is included to
help visualize the most important ideas and to show how techniques
are implemented in practice. There are comprehensive end-of-chapter
exercises to test students on their understanding.
In praise of Paul Wilmott and his previous works
Some people write for fame, some for money. Most academics write
books to impress the professor down the corridor so that one day
they will be the professor down the corridor everyone is trying to
impress. Uniquely, Paul Wilmott writes to inform and educate his
readers, to convey ideas, and, most importantly, to show them "how
to do it,"
His greatest admirers are his readers. So, instead of
endorsements from the great and the good, here are the words of his
fans. Their sometimes unique spelling has been retained.
I found it to be easily the best book that I have read/worked
through on the subject.
I thought it might amuse you to know that I think your book got
me a job!
I'd like to say that this is a great book but you already know
that!
I'm a junior derivatives trader in Mexico City. I've seen your
book and I have only one coment: SEXY!
Loved your book, which is a breath of fresh air, amongst all
those arid derivatives books!! It really is in a class of its own.
I have wastedso much money on stupid derivative books which too
elementary or way too complicated.
Purchased both Quant Finance and Derivatives a couple of days
ago. Will not be able to afford steak or wine for weeks as a
result.
BTW, I want to congratulate you for the *best* book in Financial
Engineering I've read in the last years.
After reading the book I'd like to follow one of your courses,
but they are way too expensive.
Congratulations for your brilliant book.
What I like about it is that it has this no-nonsense kind of
approach that you'd expect in a physics text and it spells out the
"stuff between the equations."
Congratulation to your book Derivatives !!! The way you
describe, present, and deliver Derivative knowledge is unique! One
can feel your passion on the topic. It's a pleasure to read, study,
re-read...
Congratulations on a great new book - 'PW on Quant Finance'. I
bought the DERIVATIVES one but cannot afford this one!!
I am fanatical follower of your book "Derivatives." You are best
and this not flattery. Sorry from my English!
We use it for the part of our Banking and Risk Management course
and it's much more comprehensive than the books that we have
recommended in our study guide.
Your book "Derivatives: the Theory and Practice of Financial
Engineering" is the best in the market so far.
I shall waste no more precious words but to say that I am very
simpathetic to your humor and irony...what most don't always seem
to understand: irony is one of the GREAT filters to access
knowledge in this world and an elegant one for that matter.
your book rocks.
Congratulations to the success of your book (I got my copy of it
for Christmas).
I would like to thank you for writing Derivatives.
Derivatives is the Greatest! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just read the first 7 chapters of Derivatives, and it speaks to
me.
complete, brilliant and amusing, stimulating for some original
ideas and examples, didactically ready to be used by Students; it
employs mathematical tools as tools only, not as a target; it is
the last but the best book on derivatives in my library.
You're book truly struck me as fun, informative and brilliant!
Us American would say 'Awesome Dude!!!'
I had a course on derivatives and your book was not suggested by
the teacher (a stupid teacher).
Love you for ever, baby. xxx M
