Summary: It is sometimes hard for me to believe that the first edition of this book was only 330 13 chapters long! There have been many developments in derivatives markets over the las and the book has grown to keep up with them. The fifth edition has seven new chapters new derivatives instruments and recent research advances. Like earlier editions, the book serves several markets. It is appropriate for graduate business, economics, and financial engineering. It can be used on advanced undergradum when students have good quantitative skills. Also, many practitioners who want to working knowledge of how derivatives can be analyzed find the book useful. One of the key decisions that must be made by an author who is writing in the area of d concerns the use of mathematics. If the level of mathematical sophistication is too material is likely to be inaccessible to many students and practitioners. If it is too P important issues will inevitably be treated in a rather superficial way. I have tried to be pa careful about the way I use both mathematics and notation in the book. Nonessential m tical material has been either eliminated or included in end-of-chapter appendices. Cone are likely to be new to many readers have been explained carefully, and many numerical have been included. The book covers both derivatives markets and risk management. It assumes that the re taken an introductory course in finance and an introductory course in probability and No prior knowledge of options, futures contracts, swaps, and so on is assumed. It is not necessary for students to take an elective course in investments prior to taking a course this book. There are many different ways the book can be used in the classroom. Ins teaching a first course in derivatives may wish to spend most time on the first half of th Instructors teaching a more advanced course will find that many different combination chapters in the second half of the book can be used. I find that the material in Chapters 2 works well at the end of either an introductory or an advanced course.
