About this book
(Chiai, Taiwan) October 28, 1999 - 5.0/5 stars

As the same as other people's opinion, I appreciate this book very much. I am a student majoring in finance, and feel that this book is really a good start point in understanding derivatives.

Although I think that some parts of John Hull's description could be better, for example offer more formal and detailed proofs in his work, this is not an importnat drawback at all. If someone want to know more about in this field, of course he or she should not just only read this book.

Taking an overview of derivatives from this one and learn more in-depth from other books or papers is a right attitude.

About the price, as a student outside US, I feel it is a little expensive, though I can buy international edition of this book.

Many textbooks in US are expensive if using the standard of my country, but I know that the authors devote themselves to their works more than those in our country.

John Hull must earn much from his book, but his effort is worth it.
