theory, implementation and practice (with Matlab source)
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 f.
