This volume focuses solely on equity derivatives problems, beginning with basic problems in derivatives securities before moving on to more advanced applications, including the construction of volatility surfaces to price exotic options. By providing a methodology for solving theoretical and practical problems, whilst explaining the limitations of financial models, this book helps readers to develop the skills they need to advance their careers. The text covers a wide range of derivatives pricing, such as European, American, Asian, Barrier and other exotic options.

In an increasingly complex financial world, the role of mathematical finance is indispensable. It follows that successful financial engineers or quants need to have an excellent grasp of all the major technicalities of mathematical finance to master its diverse applications in the financial industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProblems and Solutions in Mathematical Finance Volume 2: Equity Derivatives\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the second of a four-volume set of books focusing on problems and solutions in mathematical finance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first volume in the series introduced the reader to all the important concepts in probability and stochastic calculus. The second volume covers a broad area of equity derivative contracts, ranging from vanilla options to various more complex options such as time dependent American, compound, barrier and volatility options.
