Money and Mathematics de Ralf Korn

Money and Mathematics: Springer Texts in Business and Economics

Autor Ralf Korn, Bernd Luderer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 oct 2021

Observăm frecvent că deciziile financiare cotidiene — de la evaluarea unui discount de TVA până la înțelegerea randamentului unei investiții — sunt adesea luate instinctiv, în absența unui fundament matematic riguros. Cartea Money and Mathematics rezolvă exact această problemă a alfabetizării financiare precare, transformând concepte complexe în instrumente de lucru accesibile. Găsim în această lucrare o structură inedită, organizată sub formă de povestiri scurte care elimină bariera jargonului academic.

Notăm cu interes progresia logică a conținutului: autorii încep cu matematica elementară aplicată în situații precum impozitul pe venit sau probabilitățile la loterie, avansează către matematica financiară clasică (dobânda compusă, anuități) și culminează cu mecanismele sofisticate ale piețelor de capital, precum opțiunile și modelul Black-Scholes. Ca și Kevin J. Hastings în Introduction to Financial Mathematics, autorii distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile, însă Ralf Korn și Bernd Luderer aleg un ton conversațional, mult mai relaxat, menit să faciliteze auto-studiul.

Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție naturală în opera lui Ralf Korn. Dacă în Monte Carlo Methods and Models in Finance and Insurance acesta se concentra pe simulări stocastice avansate, în volumul de față observăm o preocupare pentru democratizarea cunoașterii, similară cu abordarea din varianta sa în limba germană, Mathe, Märkte und Millionen. Cartea nu se rezumă la teorie; ea oferă cititorului capacitatea de a analiza critic ofertele bancare, impactul inflației și eficiența strategiilor de portofoliu, fiind susținută de un aparat matematic complet, inclus pentru cei care doresc să verifice personal rigoarea calculelor.

Descriere scurtă

This book follows a conversational approach in five dozen stories that provide an insight into the colorful world of financial mathematics and financial markets in a relaxed, accessible and entertaining form. The authors present various topics such as returns, real interest rates, present values, arbitrage, replication, options, swaps, the Black-Scholes formula and many more. The readers will learn how to discover, analyze, and deal with the many financial mathematical decisions the daily routine constantly demands.
The book covers a wide field in terms of scope and thematic diversity. Numerous stories are inspired by the fields of deterministic financial mathematics, option valuation, portfolio optimization and actuarial mathematics. The book also contains a collection of basic concepts and formulas of financial mathematics and of probability theory. Thus, also readers new to the subject will be provided with all the necessary information to verify the calculations.

Recenzii

“The book is a part of Springer Texts … suited for both the class and self-study. … this book is a wonderful resource on the various aspects of money and mathematics. In a world that pervades with concepts related to insurance, annuities, discounts, bargains, options, and risks, this book could come as an eye-opener to many. The readers are going to find this book enriching and satiating. The book is worth every second spent reading it.” (Firdous Ahmad Mala, Journal of Economics, Vol. 137 (3), 2022)
