Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Justin London did it again Comment: I highlight two points: 1. The inclusion of Matlab and Excel code in almost all topics of the book. 2. All the content is new and more advanced, there is no recovered topics of his previous book. Customer Rating: Summary: Offers prebuilt code for immediate use Comment: This book offers prebuilt, modifiable code that you can use for energy, power, weather and many other derivatives applications. The download process is fast and easy. For those who use Matlab, C++, or Excel, there is no competition. A great book with unique content and code. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent resource for coding derivatives Comment: This book was my ultimate go-to resource on several financial engineering projects (on the buy side). It covers many different derivatives and provides example MatLab and C++ code that is easy to modify and extend. The instructions for setup and downloading the code could be more clear, perhaps on a CD. Customer Rating: Summary: State of the art derivative modeling book Comment: Great book. But the code downloading process is a bit weird. Don't know why they just attach a CD. Customer Rating: Summary: Describes the Modelling Procedure and Gives the Code Comment: Derivatives are not simple things. It almost seems that complexity was a design goal when they were being set up. In order to determine their real value either today or in the future you almost have to model them on a computer. This book covers dozens of different types of derivatives, including the common ones and some of the new even more esoteric ones. It talks about the structure of the derivative, and then presents models of them. The models are presented in the most common modelling 'languages' in use today. There is a lot of code involved, but there is not a CD included with the book. Instead, an access code providing a one time download for the code. Note, a one time download. Be sure and save the code quickly and on several media. This procedure allows the models to be updated as needed without regard to the time it takes for the book to move from being written to being published, but if you have a disk crash.... The biggest things this book provides are: first, you get to see what an expert in the field has done, and second, you get the code to run his models on your system, and of course you can modify them if you find some other aspect suits your needs better. This is a new book, first printed in December 2006, so it is current with the derivatives being marketing at that time. More Reviews
