本書旨在講述研究現代金融市場衍生證券，如期權、期貨和交換業務等所需的數學知識。建立在著名的Black-Scholes理論基礎上的理想化連續時間模型需要對現代微積分有較深的了解。然而，書中許多潛在的知識點完全可以在離散時間的框架內理解。本書是在第1版的基礎上做了較多增補，使得連續時間理論應用范圍更加廣泛，更加詳細地介紹Black-Scholes模型及其推廣、期限結構和消費投資問題。增加的內容有：一致性風險測度及其在對沖中的應用；一般離散市場模型中資產估價的第一基本定理；不完全離散市場的套利區間；完全離散市場的特征；Black-Scholes模型中的風險、回報和靈敏度。本書內容安排相當謹慎、詳細，而不是泛泛羅列所有盡可能多的內容，對期權的處理相當精辟。通過本書的學習，讀者也可以了解更多的科研動態。目次：套利定價；鞅測度；第一基本定理；完全市場；離散時間美國期權；連續時間隨機計算；美國賣方期權；債券和期限結構；消費投資策略；風險度量。 讀者對象：數學專業的研究生、科研人員以及具有一定數學背景的金融愛好者。
