Math for Business and Finance


Book Description

"For the first four chapters, blueprint aid boxes are available to help you map out a plan to solve a word problem. We know the harder thing to do in solving word problems is often figuring out where to start. Use the blueprint as a model to get started. At the end of each chapter is a quick reference guide called the Interactive Chapter Organizer, in which key points, formulas, and examples are provided. A list of vocabulary terms is also included, as well as Check Figures for Extra Practice Quizzes. A column called "You Try It" gives you a chance to do additional practice. And solutions are provided in Appendix B. (A complete glossary is found at the end of the text.) Think of the Interactive Chapter Organizer as your set of notes and use it as a reference when doing homework problems and reviewing before exams"--

Mathematics for Economics and Finance


Book Description

Mathematics has become indispensable in the modelling of economics, finance, business and management. Without expecting any particular background of the reader, this book covers the following mathematical topics, with frequent reference to applications in economics and finance: functions, graphs and equations, recurrences (difference equations), differentiation, exponentials and logarithms, optimisation, partial differentiation, optimisation in several variables, vectors and matrices, linear equations, Lagrange multipliers, integration, first-order and second-order differential equations. The stress is on the relation of maths to economics, and this is illustrated with copious examples and exercises to foster depth of understanding. Each chapter has three parts: the main text, a section of further worked examples and a summary of the chapter together with a selection of problems for the reader to attempt. For students of economics, mathematics, or both, this book provides an introduction to mathematical methods in economics and finance that will be welcomed for its clarity and breadth.




Stochastic Finance


Book Description

This classroom-tested text provides a deep understanding of derivative contracts. Unlike much of the existing literature, the book treats price as a number of units of one asset needed for an acquisition of a unit of another asset instead of expressing prices in dollar terms exclusively. This numeraire approach leads to simpler pricing options for complex products, such as barrier, lookback, quanto, and Asian options. With many examples and exercises, the text relies on intuition and basic principles, rather than technical computations.
