The book is written by an academician, maybe with engineering background. It uses unnecessary mathematics symbol systems and cumbersome explanations to narrate simple concepts.It appears that the book was published in a hurry. It contains many typos, for example, on page 5 -figure 1.4(a) (Note the there will .....). Can not believe these types of errors were not caught in the review by AP publisher.The book was given some high ratings from some readers on Amazon. I do not believe these ratings are compatible to the ones given to similar books such as the book "Introduction to future and options" by John Hull.
