Virtualization has become a “megatrend”—and forgood reason. Implementing virtualization allows for more efficientutilization of network server capacity, simpler storageadministration, reduced energy costs, and better use of corporatecapital. In other words: virtualization helps you save money,energy, and space. Not bad,...

One of the most important tasks in finance is to find good mathematical models for financial products, in particular derivatives. However, the more realistic the model, the more practitioners face still-unsolved problems in rigorous mathematics and econometrics, in addition to serious numerical difficulties. The idea behind this book is to...
