ELEMENTARY INTRODUCTION TO STOCHASTIC INTEREST RATE MODELING, AN (Advanced Series on Statistical Science and Applied Probability, 12)

This textbook is written as an accessible introduction to interest rate modeling and related derivatives, which have become increasingly important subjects of interest in financial mathematics. The models considered range from standard short rate to forward rate models and include more advanced topics such as the BGM model and an approach to its calibration. An elementary treatment of the pricing of caps and swaptions under forward measures is also provided, with a focus on explicit calculations and a step-by-step introduction of concepts. Each chapter is accompanied with exercises and their complete solutions, making this book suitable for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate-level students.

All this and a little more is done in 133 pages, including exercises, making this text an attractive choice for a one-semester course at the graduate level. --Mathematical Reviews
