    This book provides useful numerical tools for pricing financial options. It covers Monte Carlo simulation and numerical techniques, such as finite-difference and finite-element methods, for solving partial differential equations. Fundamental concepts of options and of stochastic calculus are also presented. There are exercises at the end of each of the six chapters.
