Mathematical Methods for Finance [PDF ebook] 
Tools for Asset and Risk Management

The mathematical and statistical tools needed in the rapidly
growing quantitative finance field
With the rapid growth in quantitative finance, practitioners
must achieve a high level of proficiency in math and statistics.
Mathematical Methods and Statistical Tools for Finance, part
of the Frank J. Fabozzi Series, has been created with this in mind.
Designed to provide the tools needed to apply finance theory to
real world financial markets, this book offers a wealth of insights
and guidance in practical applications.
It contains applications that are broader in scope from what is
covered in a typical book on mathematical techniques. Most books
focus almost exclusively on derivatives pricing, the applications
in this book cover not only derivatives and asset pricing but also
risk management–including credit risk management–and
portfolio management.
* Includes an overview of the essential math and statistical
skills required to succeed in quantitative finance
* Offers the basic mathematical concepts that apply to the field
of quantitative finance, from sets and distances to functions and
variables
* The book also includes information on calculus, matrix algebra,
differential equations, stochastic integrals, and much more
* Written by Sergio Focardi, one of the world’s leading authors
in high-level finance
Drawing on the author’s perspectives as a practitioner and
academic, each chapter of this book offers a solid foundation in
the mathematical tools and techniques need to succeed in today’s
dynamic world of finance.
