Riassunto

This book introduces the reader to the C++ programming language and how to use it to write applications in quantitative finance (QF) and related areas. No previous knowledge of C or C++ is required -- experience with VBA, Matlab or other programming language is sufficient. The book adopts an incremental approach; starting from basic principles then moving on to advanced complex techniques and then to real-life applications in financial engineering. There are five major parts in the book: <ul> <li>C++ fundamentals and object-oriented thinking in QF</li> <li>Advanced object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism</li> <li>Template programming and the Standard Template Library (STL)</li> <li>An introduction to GOF design patterns and their applications in QF Applications</li> </ul> <p>The kinds of applications include binomial and trinomial methods, Monte Carlo simulation, advanced trees, partial differential equations and finite difference methods.</p> <p>This book includes a companion website with all source code and many useful C++ classes that you can use in your own applications. Examples, test cases and applications are directly relevant to QF.</p> <p>This book is the perfect companion to Daniel J. Duffy’s book <i>Financial Instrument Pricing using C++</i> (Wiley 2004, 0470855096 / 9780470021620)</p>

Informazioni sull?autore

<b>DANIEL J. DUFFY</b> has been involved in software development projects using C++ and object-oriented design techniques since 1988. He organized the first C++ course in the Netherlands in 1989 and has worked on a variety of C++ projects in areas such as computer graphics, optical technology, process control and quantitative finance systems. In 1993 he worked on an early version of a large object-oriented system for derivatives’ pricing and hedging models. He is designer/trainer and has trained mote than 2000 C++ developers in recent years.<br /> A companion book to the current one is "Financial instrument pricing using C++" (Wiley 2004). Since 1996 he has written seven books on object-oriented design and programming. Daniel Duffy has a Phd in Numerical Analysis from Trinity College Dublin. He lives in the Netherlands with his wife Ilona and son Brendan.<br /> He can be contacted at dduffy@datasim.nl
