A must buy for those who want to understand derivatives

This book is truly one of the best of its kind. It introduces all the basics of futures and options that you need to know and also presents the mathematical details in a reasonable way. The text is extremely clear and easy to read and allows you to really understand the technical details of difficult subjects like option pricing. I was surprised to find step by step calculations and derivations of all necessary mathematical results. This is very essential when you want to obtain a solid understanding of derivatives. Derivatives books like that of John C. Hull are full of real world examples. This is something you won't find in this book. Nevertheless it is a great book for the beginner as well as the advanced. It is a must buy!
