Nowadays students and professionals intending to work in any area of finance must master not only advanced concepts and mathematical models but also learn how to implement these models computationally. This comprehensive text combines the theory and mathematics behind financial engineering with an emphasis on computation, in keeping with the way financial engineering is practiced in today’s capital markets. Unlike most books on investments, financial engineering, or derivative securities, the book starts from very basic ideas in finance and gradually builds up the theory. It offers a tho

In 1989, Michael Rabin proposed a fundamentally new approach to the problems of fault-tolerant routing and memory management in parallel computation based on the idea of information dispersal. Yuh-Dauh Lyuu developed this idea in a number of new and exciting ways. Further work has led to extensions of these methods to other applications such as shared memory emulations. This volume is a self-contained book about parallel computers, which gives a detailed treatment of the vital issues of communication, fault-tolerance, on-line maintenance, emulation of ideal parallel computation models, and sy
