The Mathematics of Banking and Finance

Throughout banking, mathematical techniques are used. Some of theseare within software products or models
mathematicians use othersto analyse data. The current literature on the subject is eithervery basic or very advanced.

The Mathematics of Banking offers an intermediate guideto the various techniques used in the industry, and a considerationof how each one should be approached. Written in a practical style, it will enable readers to quickly appreciate the purpose of thetechniques and, through illustrations, see how they can be appliedin practice. Coverage is extensive and includes techniques such asVaR analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, extreme value theory, variance and many others.
