Good.......2007-09-14
The book was in great condition. It took only five days to get the book.
The greatest concise reference for the fundamentals of financial engineering.......2007-05-30
Whilst this text was not a recommended text for my Australian investments course, it was more useful than any other reference material prescribed by my professional body and proved more than its value over the space of just a few weeks. I encourage especially those that may be sitting on the fence, thinking it is a lot of money (because it is), that this text is worth every cent if you are in need of the best derivatives pricing book that exists today - this is it.
Solid textbook.......2007-05-08
This textbook has been very helpful for my financial instruments class (MBA level). Good examples and explanation of formulas.
Good Book Humayun R Ali.......2007-03-01
I am in the first few chapters and finding the book easier to read than other financial books. I like the examples to explain the purpose of futures and options. The first few chapters introduce you to futures and options then gets into more advanced topics. I also got the student study guide. There are certain books that are well worth the price, this is one of them. It is not a "get rich quick" guide, but rather a book designed to give the reader an in depth understanding.
A PhD student's review.......2007-02-07
Like all too many PhD students trying to push their way into the already overcrowded quant. finance job-space, I too had heard that Hull is the "bible" of quant. finance, and it should be the first book you should read.
WRONG. Dead wrong. Hull should be the LAST book you should read, and I mean it literally. That is, you definitely SHOULD read Hull, but after reading some good quant. finance books and getting some intuition behind what is going on.
The good parts of Hull are:
1) breadth of topics covered - there is no other single book that covers the range of topics that Hull does.
2) some amount of feel of real markets that it gives (all this means is that it describes the mechanics of markets).
For someone just starting out learning quant. finance, however, the above two become big stumbling blocks. The breadth of topics means that several topics are covered in a, and I am being kind, patchy manner. In fact, you can go through quite a lot of Mr. Hull's babble about "worlds" (something he uses interchangeably for "measure") without understanding whatever the heck a risk-neutral measure is. There are risk-neutral worlds, forward-neutral worlds, stock-worlds...and you don't know the underlying simple, simple principle, so you just keep following him, and he goes on and on...
Another example - Black's formula in fixed income products - he just goes on and on about its applications to this that and the other (bond options, swaptions...), discusses the "validity of Black's formula" (which supposedly tells you that it is more general that it is usually believed to be, but tells you neither how general it is, nor how general it is believed to be)...All this without giving you the simple, one sentence reasoning behind the Black formula.
Time and again in the book there are formulae that seem to be just pulled out of thin air. There are better compilations of formulae (Haug, for example), so I don't quite understand what the idea is. You keep wondering HOW a valuation formula came about, because you want to know what assumptions lie behind that valuation, and how to change it if some of those assumptions change...But as frequently as not, you will be left turning pages in the vain hope of trying to find out.
Add to that a poorly composed index, ill defined terms sprinkled all over the book, hand-waving galore, and it equates to hours of frustration. Just understanding clearly what is being talked about takes a lot of page turning, searching for definitions and so on.
And don't go by people who look down folks wanting to be precise. I am not talking about any ivory tower precision - I am talking about real, practical precision. The precision you need in a book to be able to answer a non-rote question properly. That precision is not there in most of Hull.
Customer Reviews:
Great help on the course!.......2004-01-23
There are many exercises after each chapter of Hull's book and they help a lot in understanding the chapter's content and many questions are very classic. You've got to have this solution manual to know the answers! More importantly, many of the homework questions and even exam questions in my class were very similar to the exercises and I benefited a lot from having this solutions manual! Thank you!
A practical manual on futures & options.......2002-10-27
Well, what can I say. Hull's solutions manual is practical but not entirely useful book. I need more professional solved cases, specially of the real life. The exercises are very simple. Any way, it's a good manual for beginners in derivatives instruments.
Solutions manual; Options Futures ..........2000-05-24
clearly the best reference for a derivative trader...
Review of Oprions, Futures and Derivatives: Solution Manual.......2000-04-15
Hull's Solution Manual is an excellent addition to the text. It allows an individual to do problems following each chapter with in depth answers that may not be provided by professors. The questions and answers allow for understanding the material.
Book Description
Never HIGHLIGHT a Book Again! Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included.look no further for study resources or reference material. Cram101 Textbook Outlines gives all of the outlines, highlights, notes, and practice-tests for your textbook. Only Cram101 is Textbook Specific. Cram101 is NOT the Textbook.
Customer Reviews:
Bad deal........2007-02-04
I bought this book by mistake. When I clicked "look inside", it showed Hull's original book. I thought it was a shorter version of it, but half the book is a small dictionary of financial terms and the other half is a notebook with empty pages. There is not a single equation in the book. It was of no use to me.

Putting a legal head on a writer's shoulders.......2003-11-27
How often have you been asked to write a letter about a faulty product, outline an insurance claim or draft a complaint to a government agency?
If you're like me, it happens a lot. Friends and family automatically assume a writer will know just how to handle any number of business or legal communications.
Fortunately, there's a perfect guide to help you navigate around legal minefields. And it comes in the form of 'Book of Letters: How to write a letter for every occasion' by Peter Breen.
Breen is ably qualified to write this book, having been a practising solicitor and barrister in Australia for almost 30 years.
Even though this book has been written for Australians, the bulk of the letters can easily be adapted to suit your requirements.
'The Book of Letters' offers letters which cover a wide variety issues and occasions, ranging from defamation, over-charging, car accidents and insurance claims to goods & services, advertising, real estate as well as employment and buying & selling a business. In addition, Breen provides letters for neighbors, debtors and creditors, and government regulators.
But, most important of all, Breen shows you how to write effective letters, including the structure, formalities and strategies for success.
Breen's book has been a bestseller since its original publication in 1986. This updated edition presents standard form letters for almost one hundred different consumer and small business issues as well as tips for communicating in the most effective way - an excellent guide for the general public (and a good reminder for writers).
As Breen puts it:
"Good letters that hit the mark have four features you will soon recognise and emulate in your own correspondence. You will also learn how to address the person who you are writing to and how to close your letters. It concludes with strategies you can employ to simplify letter writing, including some hints about language."
"People who write effective letters usually write with passion and to a plan," Breen continues. "While most of us are passionate in our letters, writing to a plan may not be so simple. We need to begin with the four key features of effective letters:
ý Person - who you are writing to
ý Issue - what kind of letter you are writing
ý Purpose - what is the connection between the person you are writing to and the issue
ý Action - what kind of action do you want the person to take?"
'Book of Letters' is a great thought-starter and guide for writing a variety of legal and business letters.
Next time a friend asks you to write a letter - you can (hand them this book)!
