FT Press (September 18, 2005) | ISBN-13: 978-0273688662
PDF | 368 Pages | 6.72 MB

Provides financial managers, finance professionals and finance students with a quick, easy and practical guide to using Excel for financial mathematics.
Financial mathematics can be applied more quickly and easily in Excel than any other package, there is therefore demand for a book in this field.
Will improve financial managers’ abilities with Excel and provide them with solutions to their financial problems.
Highly practical : includes a library of templates, exercises and solutions as an illustration of the methods.
Part of the highly respected and recognised Mastering series.
Positioning: Will use simpler models to illustrate the formulas and methodology than Mastering Financial Modelling and Mastering Risk Modelling.
Benchmark: 1. Mastering Financial Calculations (Steiner). Similar book, but for professionals in financial markets, and with less emphasis on Excel.
Benchmark 2. Paul Wilmott’s Quantitative Finances (Wiley) is in this space but is a high-level academic text and is less practical and easy to absorb. The exercises and solutions in ours will significantly cut down learning time. Ours also focuses wholly on Excel, which is a standard for all financial managers and students, this is what they want and need to know.

Financial risk management has become a popular practice amongst financial institutions to protect against the adverse effects of uncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. New financial instruments and mathematical techniques are continuously developed and introduced in financial practice. These techniques are being used by an increasing number of firms, traders and financial risk managers across various industries. Risk and Financial Management: Mathematical and Computational Methods confronts the many issues and controversies, and explains the fundamental concepts that underpin financial risk management.

Provides a comprehensive introduction to the core topics of risk and financial management.
Adopts a pragmatic approach, focused on computational, rather than just theoretical, methods.
Bridges the gap between theory and practice in financial risk management
Includes coverage of utility theory, probability, options and derivatives, stochastic volatility and value at risk.
Suitable for students of risk, mathematical finance, and financial risk management, and finance practitioners.
Includes extensive reference lists, applications and suggestions for further reading.

Risk and Financial Management: Mathematical and Computational Methods is ideally suited to both students of mathematical finance with little background in economics and finance, and students of financial risk management, as well as finance practitioners requiring a clearer understanding of the mathematical and computational methods they use every day. It combines the required level of rigor, to support the theoretical developments, with a practical flavour through many examples and applications.
