Brownian Motion Calculus Paperback - 2005 - 1st Edition

""Wiersema has written a splendid book ... focusing on the core elements of the theory in a simplistic and operational manner. The reader is gently invited into the world of Ito integration and differentiation, where the material is carefully selected to highlight how the calculus functions rather than going into all theoretical details. The author provides many examples with relevance for financial applications, and each chapter ends with a good choice of exercises. The book is unique in its concise and inspiring style. This introduction to Brownian motion calculus is powerful, and highly recommended.""

Professor Fred Espen Benth, Centre of Mathematics for Applications, Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo
