Reviews
OOP in C++ remains a difficult programming language and paradigm to learn and develop. There remains a shortage of high-quality, easy to follow texts in C++ for mathematical finance. Dr Armstrong has successfully produced a self-contained publication that begins with the basics and patiently guides the student to advanced object-oriented C++ programming in a quant finance setting.ã The writing style is very user-friendly and immediately reassures the reader, while numerous exercises allow solid progression. The author's extensive background in academia and as a practitioner is apparent throughout; the latter being a key accomplishment in setting the book apart from others. As a teacher of mathematical and computational finance, Armstrong's book will feature at the top of my list of recommended textbooks. - Dr. Riaz Ahmad, The Fitch Group and University College London (Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science)ã
