Editorial Review:
the mathematics of financial modeling & investment management
The Mathematics of Financial Modeling & Investment Management covers a wide range of technical topics in mathematics and finance-enabling the investment management practitioner, researcher, or student to fully understand the process of financial decision-making and its economic foundations.
This comprehensive resource will introduce you to key mathematical techniques-matrix algebra, calculus, ordinary differential equations, probability theory, stochastic calculus, time series analysis, optimization-as well as show you how these techniques are successfully implemented in the world of modern finance. Special emphasis is placed on the new mathematical tools that allow a deeper understanding of financial econometrics and financial economics. Recent advances in financial econometrics, such as tools for estimating and representing the tails of the distributions, the analysis of correlation phenomena, and dimensionality reduction through factor analysis and cointegration are discussed in depth.
Using a wealth of real-world examples, Focardi and Fabozzi simultaneously show both the mathematical techniques and the areas in finance where these techniques are applied. They also cover a variety of useful financial applications, such as:
* Arbitrage pricing
* Interest rate modeling
* Derivative pricing
* Credit risk modeling
* Equity and bond portfolio management
* Risk management
* And much more
Filled with in-depth insight and expert advice, The Mathematics of Financial Modeling & Investment Management clearly ties together financial theory and mathematical techniques.
The principles and practices of financial markets
Using many real-world examples, this book explains the key mathematical techniques used in today's financial world.
Sergio M. Focardi (Paris, France) is a founding partner of The Intertek Group financial consultancy and a cofounder of CINEF (Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Economics and Finance) at the University of Genoa, Italy.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A quick way to refresh your math for quant interview
Got this book to prepare for my interview. It is a nice book that covers all the topics. It's not for beginners. It's good for people who learned the topics before and just need a complete refresh of memory in a short period of time.
Rating:  - Too bad!
This book's printing quality is unusually terrible and the contents are also difficulty to read.
Rating:  - A dictionary
This book looks like a dictionary: thousands of entries and few words to explain them...
