A detailed look at developing real-world financial models using C++
This book, designed for self-study, reference, and classroom use, outlines a comprehensive approach to creating both simple and advanced financial models using C++. Author and modeling expert Chandan Sengupta covers programming, the C++ language, and financial modeling from the ground up-assuming no prior knowledge in these areas-and shows through numerous examples how to combine these skills with financial theory and mathematics to develop practical financial models. Since C++ is the computer language used most often to develop large-scale financial models and systems, readers will find this work-which includes a CD-ROM containing the models and codes from the book-an essential asset in their current modeling endeavors.
Chandan Sengupta (White Plains, NY) teaches finance in the MBA program at the Fordham University Graduate School of Business. He is also the author of Financial Modeling Using Excel and VBA (0-471-26768-6).
