Derivatives by Robert A. Strong,
By
This review is from: Derivatives: An Introduction (Hardcover)
This is a really good book for those who have no background in equity derivatives. It explains in a very concise and understandable layman's terms. Thank goodness for this book. It was recommended from my class instructor.

Best Derivatives Book I Have Ever Used,
By
This review is from: Derivatives: An Introduction (Hardcover)
I find it hard to believe that anyone would find this book difficult to follow or undertand. I have been teaching derivatives at the graduate finance level for 13 years and have never seen a better book. Most of the books I have reviewed are useless as a teaching tool. They tend to be nothing more than one writer/professor showing his colleagues how smart he is. I could not recommend this book more for anyone needing a solid introduction to derivatives.

Solid Introduction to Derivatives,
This review is from: Derivatives: An Introduction (Hardcover)
Excellent book. I disagree with the previous reviewer. I believe it is well written. Remember this is a text book, and part of the author's goal is to get the reader (student) to think. The author's style is somewhat informal and conversational, which I think makes it easier to read and comprehend. Also, unlike Hull's text, this book presents a unique binomial pricing methodology which is more intuitive (and clever). Perfectly suited for general MBA students looking for an introduction to derivatives.
