Financial Products（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Financial Products provides a step-by-step guide to some of
the most important ideas in financial mathematics. It describes and
explains interest rates, discounting, arbitrage, risk neutral
probabilities, forward contracts, futures, bonds, FRA and swaps. It
shows how to construct both elementary and complex (Libor) zero
curves. Options are described, illustrated and then priced using
the Black Scholes formula and binomial trees. Finally, there is a
chapter describing default probabilities, credit ratings and credit
derivatives (CDS, TRS, CSO and CDO). An important feature of the
book is that it explains this range of concepts and techniques in a
way that can be understood by those with only a basic understanding
of algebra. Many of the calculations are illustrated using Excel
spreadsheets, as are some of the more complex algebraic processes.
This accessible approach makes it an ideal introduction to
financial products for undergraduates and those studying for
professional financial qualifications.
