β¦ Synopsis
Stochastic calculus has important applications to mathematical finance. This book will appeal to practitioners and students who want an elementary introduction to these areas. From the reviews: "As the preface says, βThis is a text with an attitude, and it is designed to reflect, wherever possible and appropriate, a prejudice for the concrete over the abstractβ. This is also reflected in the style of writing which is unusually lively for a mathematics book." --ZENTRALBLATT MATH
