Stochastic Calculus?
Being a professional Azerbijani Yak trader, I (like my esteemed colleague) have used extensively Stochastic Calculus!
I am also very strong in the modelling & programming, area.
Just like my esteemed colleague, I stand in awe before this book, and certainly class it as a godsend!The book not only applies to my current vocation, but i have found practical application for this book in the Scandanavian Seal clubbing industry. I have stopped my wheels spinning, life is a truly experience after reading this book. I also highly recommend Dr. Zeus, Cat in the Hat & Green eggs & Ham!

Highly Recommended
VBA is one of those tools I long knew I should be proficient in but never got around to learning. That is, not until I found this book. It makes it easy for a financial professional to quickly come up to speed and start coding VBA within spreadsheets. The fact that the focus is on financial applications means that you learn coding techniques that will be useful on the job. I highly recommend the book!
