Reviews for “A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering”, First Edition:
``One of the hottest degrees on today's campus is a Masters in Financial Engineering. Whether you need to retrieve hallowed memories or just want to familiarize yourself with the mathematics underlying this degree, this unique book offers a terrific return on investment.”
--Peter Carr, PhD
Global Head of Modeling, Morgan Stanley; Director of the Masters Program in Mathematical Finance, Courant Institute, NYU
``This is the book I always recommend to people who ask about their mathematics before doing an MFE, and a few people could do with reading it after as well."
--Dominic Connor
Director, P&D Quantitative Recruitment
Every exercise from the Second Edition of the Math Primer (175 exercises in total) is solved in detail in this Solutions Manual.
The Solutions Manual to the Second Edition of "A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering" offers the reader the opportunity to undertake a rigorous self-study of the mathematical topics presented in the Math Primer, with the goal of achieving a deeper understanding of the financial applications therein.
The First Edition of the Solutions Manual proved to be an important resource for prospective financial engineering graduate students.
Using the Solution Manual as a companion to the Math Primer is an efficient way to glean a more advanced perspective on financial engineering applications by studying the solutions of the many challenging exercises. Studying the material from the Math Primer in tandem with the Solutions Manual provides the solid mathematical background required for successful graduate studies.
