Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781592575121; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-22 Summary: Strongly Recommend ... I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is taking Calculus. Each problem is explained step by step and the formulas are constantly reminded. There are a wide range of problems from easy to difficult which makes learning gradual and permanent. The writer has a good sense of humor and is a good teacher. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: Great Reference when Studying Calculus ... I bought this book because I couldn't follow while I was reading the textbook and had a hard time following my math teacher at college. So I decided to buy another book for reference, and make it easier for me to understand these concepts, and try them out. I liked how he approached each problem from easy to difficult degree of problems. This book explains it very clearly and what other steps we can approach solving the problem. It also gives you tips, formulas and graphs to memorize too. Awesome content and this book ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-25 Summary: Helpful for review ... After a year long absence between my calculus 1 and calculus 2 classes it was suggested to pick up this book for review. this book is not only giving me a thorough review, but keeps my attention. Overall I think the best part of the book is how when working through the problems the method used and the steps taken to complete the problems differ. Unlike a traditional mat book where a set way is presented and the student then applies the formula 25 times in a row before moving on. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Now students have nothing to fear … Math textbooks can be as baffling as the subject they’re teaching. Not anymore. The best-selling author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Calculus has taken what appears to be a typical calculus workbook, chock full of solved calculus problems, and made legible notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying solutions. Finally, everything is made perfectly clear. Students will be prepared to solve those obscure problems that were never...more
Stochastic Calculus for Finance II: Continuous-Time Models (Springer Finance) (v. 2)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-22 Summary: Finally, a book that explains.. ... As one of my Math professors put it, "a mathematician will never ever dream of coming up with Black-Scholes formula". The key here is to understand why Fischer Black and Myron Scholes were forced to make the kind of assumptions they have made to price an option contract. The adapted processes, the sigma algebras and several such seemingly abstract concepts are hard to understand or even teach in one or two semesters. It seems the accepted pedagogical approach in teaching this subject has been to skim the surface and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-03 Summary: Good and rigourous intro to financial maths ... This is definitely one of the best introductory books on financial mathematics. The book starts to make sense after a summer course in discrete-time martingale course (using william's blue book). Shreve's book gives a general introduction to Brownian motion and Ito stochastic calculus. At the same time, he shows how to apply these theoreis into financial maths, equity or interest rate etc. If you want to learn financial mathematics at a relatively more rigourous level (yet still not too difficult), this is the book ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-24 Summary: excellent book on quantitative finance ... Nicely written. Shreve is the one of the best authors in mathematical writings(another one I like is milnor). Worth buying one. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-13 Summary: The definitive word ... This is the most fundamental word in mathematical finance. Those with a background in math will benefit most: ordinary differential equations, probability theory, statistics and multivariable calculus prerequisites. This is a very mathematical approach. Don't look to it for computational implementations of the financial models it covers. But for the mathematical foundations of the models, this is THE book. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Stochastic Calculus for Finance evolved from the first ten years of the Carnegie Mellon Professional Master's program in Computational Finance. The content of this book has been used successfully with students whose mathematics background consists of calculus and calculus-based probability. The text gives both precise statements of results, plausibility arguments, and even some proofs, but more importantly intuitive explanations developed and refine through classroom experience with this...more
Calculus Made Easy
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: good book ... Just a quick review. This book can really explain things easier than what my text book does. Though some pages of the book are cut off a bit but not really a big problem. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-01 Summary: Clear and succinct, but not easy ... I like math and am a B or B-plus in aptitude; I think I am this book's audience. For me, it has been excellent, but for someone who struggles with math, it might not be as good. The book keeps the new ideas of calculus short and simple (in particular by leaving out the idea of a limit). But it does expect you to be clever with the algebra you already know. The problems ask you to extend what was discussed, not merely to repeat it. As Gardner says, traditional calculus textbooks must include every possible topic, so ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-30 Summary: Highly recommend 'Calculus Made Easy' for learning on your own ... Hello! Silvanus Thompson wrote an excellent book. I can see why this is a classic. He does a really good job of explaining calculus in a language that is both simple and understandable. However, I do have an issue with this edition. It is in deplorable shape concerning the format of the text -- pages are out of order, words are missing, and sometimes the text encroaches on the inner margin so far that it is hard to read (you have to open the book really wide). Overall, I give Silvanus Thompson an 'A+' for making a ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-11 Summary: How does this follow? ... I love this book, at least up to the bottom of page 23 (I just purchased the second edition from Amazon). There are two equations at the bottom of the page. Let's call them equation 1 and equation 2. Equation 2, the one at the bottom of the page, is supposed to be a restatement of equation 1. I cannot figure out how the author gets from 1 to 2. It seems to me that equation 2 should read [(x)e-2][(1+2dx/x)e-1].Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Phil M. ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-07 Summary: It is a great book to learn from! ... Ok, it had been three years since I had taken Calc. I and II. I had signed up for classes again and I needed to relearn all the stuff from those two courses. At first, I used the book I had at juco and it was great too. Then, I ordered this book for Calc III and I started using that. I was able to teach myself the stuff of Calc I and II and I rocked Calc III. ...more
