This book should be useful to a large audience: • Prospective students for financial engineering (or mathematical finance) xiii PREFACE xiv programs will find that the knowledge contained in this book is fundamental for their understanding of more advanced courses

first insight in the world of quantitative finance. The material in this book has been used for a mathematics refresher course for students entering the Financial Engineering Masters Program (MFE) at Baruch College, City University of New York. Studying this material before entering the program provided the students with a solid background

contribution to the continued success of our students has been tremendous. This is the first in a series of books containing mathematical background needed for financial engineering applications, to be followed by books in N umerical Linear Algebra, Probability, and Differential Equations. Dan Stefanica New York, 2008 Acknow ledgments I have spent

several wonderful years at Baruch College, as Director of the Financial Engineering Masters Program. Working with so many talented students was a privilege, as well as a learning experience in itself, and seeing a strong community develop

find this book useful, the approach to reading the book will be different depending on the background and goals of the reader. Prospective students for financial engineering or mathematical finance programs should find the study of this book very rewarding, as it will give them a head start in their studies, and

of study. Building a solid base for further study is of tremendous importance. This book teaches core concepts important for a successful learning experience in financial engineering graduate programs. Instructors of quantitative finance courses will find the mathematical topics and their treatment to be of greatest value, and could use the book
