The authors describe the modelling of financial derivative products from an applied mathematician's viewpoint.
Finance is one of the fastest growing areas in the modern banking and corporate world. this, together with the sophistication of modern financial products, provides a rapidly growing impetus for new mathematical models and modern mathematical methods; the area is an expanding source for novel and relevant 'real-world' mathematics.
