Sommario/riassunto

Financial Modelling - Theory, Implementation and Practice is a unique combination of quantitative techniques, the application to financial problems and programming using Matlab. The book enables the reader to model, design and implement a wide range of financial models for derivatives pricing and asset allocation, providing practitioners with complete financial modelling workflow, from model choice, deriving  prices and Greeks using (semi-) analytic and simulation techniques, and calibration even for exotic options.  The book is split into three parts. The first part considers

Sommario/riassunto

Biotransformations have developed into an important tool of organic synthesis and most synthetic sequences will benefit from the use of a biotransformation step. This volume completes the collection of biotransformations presented in the Biotechnology series. Volumes 8 a



and b provide a comprehensive guide to the established and emerging uses of enzymes, each chapter is devoted to a single class of transformation.
