Updated and revised to reflect the most current information, this introduction to futures and options markets is ideal for those with a limited background in mathematics. Based on Hull's Options, Futures and Other Derivatives, one of the best-selling books on Wall Street, this book presents an accessible overview of the topic without the use of calculus. Packed with numerical samples and accounts of real-life situations, the Fifth Edition effectively guides readers through the material while providing them with a host of tangible examples. For professionals with a career in futures and options markets, financial engineering and/or risk management. Review: classical book - I was planning to buy this book for a few years. This is a classical book on Derivatives. A must have for anyone that is interested in learning how derivatives work and how to price them. It provides good reasoning and intuitive ideas on risk-neutral pricing. I tried learning that from other books before but the main ideas are so well explained here that now I can understand what those other books say (concepts like market price of risk and the equivalent martingale result for change of numeraire). Interest rate derivatives are well introduced here and the new chapter on more numerical procedures extends the results from previous chapters to dynamics with stochastic volatility and so on. So, this is a must have and basic reading book for any quant analyst. Review: A Must Have for any Risk Manager's Library - One cannot fully understand the quantitative aspects of risk management without having this book in your reference library. It's thorough, easy to read and has all the necessary mathematics for reproduce the risk measures, pricing and valuation for most exchange traded securities out there. I fails only in the introduction to cover the requisite history of risk management but that's not so important for the work. I particuarly like the Merton model descriptions for pricing corporate bonds, the options pricing methods because it makes binomial pricing for options really easy to program yourself. This is one book you need in your library and also one you must read too.

The book inside is new but outside is not so good
The hard cover of the book worn out so that it appears to be not so clean, but the papers are clean.

It had some highlighting
The book had some highlighting that I didn't think would be there when i ordered it, but then I got the book and it had lots of highlighting. It wasn't exactly in the promised condition.

The finance book
Not just people in Sales & Trading / Structuring, but anyone who worries about the role of derivatives needs to first give this important book a read through: It simply and elegantly explains the role of derivatives. Don't make judgments about things you don't understand: read hull and learn
