"I recommend this book to anyone who needs a strong reference on the computational aspects of financial calculations. The reader will find not only all the relevant computer codes in Visual Basic/Excel, C++, C, and C#, but also the required theory for a better understanding of financial concepts." --Francois-Eric Racicot, University of Ottawa "This is a book with equal coverage of financial mathematics, derivatives, and computer programming. It will be a welcome addition to any student's or practitioner's library." --Yuh-Dauh Lyuu, National Taiwan University "The use of derivatives for hedging possible finance risks became extremely popular due to the globalisation of international trade. This book provides for readers interesting linkage of theoretical background for valuation of all types of derivatives with their practical impact. Professional valuers would appreciate the 8th chapter dealing with C# portfolio pricing app. Very topical is the last chapter dealing with 2008 credit crisis. I would like to strongly recommend this book for publishing." --Jiri Strouhal, University of Economics Prague and President of Association of Czech Professional Accountants
