    Reviews

    'It is clear that Lars Nielsen has both communicated the material and excited his students with his approach.' - Bruce D. Grundy, The Jnl of Financial Research Vol.XXIII, No.3. Fall 2000.

    'This is a challenging and rewarding text. It will lead mathematics graduate students toward an interest in the problems of finance. It will lead finance graduate students toward the level of mathematical sophistication neccessary to contribute to the literature in this field. It will also allow some academics currently teaching undergraduate and MBA derivatives courses to confirm or challenge their own often intuitive understanding of pricing, hedging and arbitrage.' - Bruce D. Grundy, The Jnl of Financial Research. Vol.XXIII, No.3. Fall 2000.

    'This book will prove valuable for those teaching graduate courses in continuous time finance and for researchers and practitioners who require access to a good reference book.' Economic Journal
