"Assuming only a basic knowledge of probability and calculus the book combines financial motivation with mathematical style. It covers the material in a mathematically rigorous and complete way at a level accessible to second or third year undergraduate students." "The text is interspersed with a multitude of worked examples and exercises, which provides ample material for tutorials, and makes the book ideal for self-study. It is suitable not only for students of mathematics, but also students of business management, finance and economics, and anyone with an interest in finance who needs to understand the underlying theory."--BOOK JACKET.
