过去十年来，许多复杂的数学和计算技巧为分析金融市场而发展起来。有意在任何金融领域工作的学生和业界人士不仅必须掌握**的概念和数学模型，并且还必须学会怎样在计算上实现这些模型。本书全面讨论了金融工程背后的理论和数学，并强调了在当今资本市场中金融工程实际应用的计算。
与大多数有关投资学、金融工程或衍生证券的书不同的是，本书从金融学的基本观念出发，逐步构建理论。在现代金融学中所需要的**数学概念以一种可接受的层次来阐释。这样，它就为金融方面的MBA、有志于从事金融业的理工科学生、计算金融的研究工作者、系统分析师和金融工程师在这一主题上提供了全面的基础。
构建理论的同时，作者介绍了在定价、风险管理和证券组合管理方面的计算技巧的算法，并且对它们的效率进行了分析。对金融证券和衍生证券的定价是本书的**论题。各种各样的金融工具都得到讨论：债券、期权、期货、远期、利率衍生品、有抵押支持的证券、嵌入期权的债券，以及诸如此类的其他工具。为便于参考使用，每种金融工具都以简短而自成体系的一章来论述。
