Sommario/riassunto |
|
A unified development of the subject, presenting the theory of options in each of the different forms and stressing the equivalence between each of the methodologies.* Demystifies some of the more complex topics.* Derives practical, tangible results using the theory, to help practitioners in problem solving.* Applies the results obtained to the analysis and pricing of options in the equity, currency, commodity and interest rate markets.* Gives the reader the analytical tools and technical jargon to understand the current technical literature available.* Provides a user-frie |
