Reviews for “A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering”, First Edition:

``One of the hottest degrees on today's campus is a Masters in Financial Engineering. Whether you need to retrieve hallowed memories or just want to familiarize yourself with the mathematics underlying this degree, this unique book offers a terrific return on investment.”

--Peter Carr, PhD

Global Head of Modeling, Morgan Stanley; Director of the Masters Program in Mathematical Finance, Courant Institute, NYU

``This is the book I always recommend to people who ask about their mathematics before doing an MFE, and a few people could do with reading it after as well."

--Dominic Connor

Director, P&D Quantitative Recruitment

Every exercise from the Second Edition of the Math Primer (175 exercises in total) is solved in detail in this Solutions Manual.

The Solutions Manual to the Second Edition of "A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering" offers the reader the opportunity to undertake a rigorous self-study of the mathematical topics presented in the Math Primer, with the goal of achieving a deeper understanding of the financial applications therein.

The First Edition of the Solutions Manual proved to be an important resource for prospective financial engineering graduate students.

Using the Solution Manual as a companion to the Math Primer is an efficient way to glean a more advanced perspective on financial engineering applications by studying the solutions of the many challenging exercises. Studying the material from the Math Primer in tandem with the Solutions Manual provides the solid mathematical background required for successful graduate studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars more books should have such a solutions manual, May 23, 2011
This review is from: Solutions Manual - A Primer For The Mathematics Of Financial Engineering, Second Edition (Paperback)
I am a math finance student who will soon start a summer internship on Wall Street. I want to leave feedback for the best and worst books that I used in my studies so far.

It is great to have solutions to all exercises in the book. It makes solving them worth the time, since you can always read the solution and learn from it, if you cannot do the problem yourself. I wish more books have solutions manuals (Wiersema's "Brownian Motion Calculus" has some solutions at the back of the book).

I was asked several questions on interviews that were exercises from the book. Some of the questions from the first chapter, for example, were often asked. It was a nice bonus to know them already!
