Matt Davison

Quantitative Finance

A Simulation-Based Introduction Using Excel

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Accessible to students with a relatively modest level of mathematical background, this book guides them in becoming successful quants. The text not only enables students to practice with the basic techniques of financial mathematics, but it also helps them gain significant intuition about what the techniques mean, how they work, and what happens when they stop working. It uses both hand calculations and Excel spreadsheets to analyze plenty of examples from simple bond portfolios. The spreadsheets are available on the book's CRC Press web page.
