Summary: "Introduction to Financial Derivatives with Python is an ideal textbook for an undergraduate course on derivatives, whether on a finance, economics, or financial mathematics programme. As well as covering all of the essential topics one would expect to be covered, the book also includes the basis of the numerical techniques most used in the financial industry, and their implementation in Python. Features Connected to a Github repository with the codes in the book. The repository can be accessed at https://bit.ly/3bllnuf Suitable for undergraduate students, as well as anyone who wants a gentle introduction to the principles of quantitative finance No pre-requisites required for programming or advanced mathematics beyond basic calculus"--
