This book is a detailed and step-by-step introduction to the mathematical foundations of ordinary and partial differential equations, their approximation by the finite difference method and applications to computational finance. The book is structured so that it can be read by beginners, novices and expert users.Part A Mathematical Foundation for One-Factor ProblemsChapters 1 to 7 introduce the mathematical and numerical analysis concepts that are needed to understand the finite difference method and its application to computational finance.Part B Mathematical Foundation for Two-Factor ProblemsChapters 8 to 13 discuss a number of rigorous mathematical techniques relating to elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations in two space variables. In particular, we develop strategies to preprocess and modify a PDE before we approximate it by the finite difference method, thus avoiding ad-hoc and heuristic tricks.Part C The Foundations of the Finite Difference Method (FDM)Chapters 14 to 17 introduce the mathematical background to the finite difference method for initial boundary value problems for parabolic PDEs. It encapsulates all the background information to construct stable and accurate finite difference schemes.Part D Advanced Finite Difference Schemes for Two-Factor ProblemsChapters 18 to 22 introduce a number of modern finite difference methods to approximate the solution of two factor partial differential equations. This is the only book we know of that discusses these methods in any detail.Part E Test Cases in Computational FinanceChapters 23 to 26 are concerned with applications based on previous chapters. We discuss finite difference schemes for a wide range of one-factor and two-factor problems.This book is suitable as an entry-level introduction as well as a detailed treatment of modern methods as used by industry quants and MSc/MFE students in finance. The topics have applications to numerical analysis, science and engineering.More on computational finance and the author's online courses, see www.datasim.nl.

Praise for Contemporary Finance "Contemporary Finance is another tour de force treatise from Allan Malz, building on but extending the coverage of his earlier book Financial Risk Management to bring it up to date in a world of financial fragility and interconnected complexity. Dr. Malz is a gifted expositor who approaches the subject from the vantage point of both a market risk manager and a scholar of finance theory. I've been working on these topics for four decades and learn something new in every chapter. Moreover, the material I think I knew I now know how to teach thanks to Allan's books."--Richard Clarida, Harriss Professor of Economics, Columbia University; Global Economic Advisor, PIMCO; former Vice Chair, Federal Reserve 2018-2022 "Contemporary Finance covers many key issues in finance. For example, it explains the nature of financial markets, how financial securities are priced, and risk management practices. It concludes with chapters on monetary policy and regulation. An important question for any book used in the classroom is: 'Will students want to keep the book after the course is over?' I am confident that students will continue to want to use Contemporary Finance once they become practitioners. The book blends theory and practice in an engaging way that is useful for all who work (or would like to work) in finance."--John C. Hull, Professor of Finance, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto Appreciate the complexities underlying the world of finance Contemporary Finance is a textbook for finance professionals, undergraduates and graduate students.

PRAISE FOR THE CREDIT INVESTOR'S HANDBOOK "Credit analysis is an underappreciated skill that is essential for investing a cross all asset classes, private and public. Michael's book is an incredibly detailed, step-by-step 'how-to' manual for analyzing credit investments, from performing to distressed, and understanding the complexities of the bankruptcy process." --Joyce Chang, Chair of Global Research, JP Morgan "While there are many books on investing in equities, until now, there were virtually no comprehensive books on investing in debt. The Credit Investor's Handbook fills this gap. While the book is focused on the debt markets, its analytical approach is extremely relevant to equities investors. Furthermore, Michael's use of real-life examples and humor make it an enjoyable read. The Credit Investor's Handbook is a 'must-read'for anyone pursuing a career in research, investment banking, capital allocation, and, most importantly, investing in an ever-evolving global marketplace." --Mario Gabelli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gabelli Funds "The Credit Investor's Handbook is an extraordinarily comprehensive look at credit investment strategies. It is chock full of rich examples that are bound to be useful in assessing the credit excesses that will undoubtedly unravel in the years ahead. I wish someone had handed me a copy when I came into the business." --Seth A. Klarman, CEO and Portfolio Manager, The Baupost Group "When I got my pre-publication copy of The Credit Investor's Handbook, I turned first to the chapters on distressed debt investing. I found a very helpful, logically organized introduction to the process and some fascinating 'warstories.'Like all good investment books, The Handbook doesn't purport to be a how-to that will yield easy profits, but it does a great job of explaining the elements that must be mastered." --Howard Marks, Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital Management "Michael's excellent book, The Credit Investor's Handbook, is like a traditional bank's training program on steroids. It offers the same kind of detailed, real-life grounding in financial analysis that was critical to my early success on Wall Street. The book teaches you the practical skills needed to succeed and steers you away from academic theories that don't work in the real world of credit markets. Michael is a great teacher with the unique ability to breakdown complex analysis into simple steps, making it easy to learn. He also brings the same passion and terrific sense of humor he uses in his classroom to the pages of this textbook. I highly recommend it as a 'must-read'for all up-and-coming credit analysts." --Harvey Schwartz, CEO of the Carlyle Group
