Applied Editorial Review
The "An Introduction to Quantitative Finance 1st Edition" is a well-structured, clearly written book that is useful for financial students and is also reasonably priced. The book is very compact and offers a good feel for the theory of valuing derivatives. The exercises are well thought out with a good mix of computational ones, but also many that require more careful thought. However, some readers think that the book does not have much practical use and that most of its content is readily available online for free. Additionally, the Kindle version of the book may have formatting issues, so it might be better to opt for the paperback version.
