Praise for Robert Reitano’s Quantitative Finance Books

  • Introduction to Quantitative Finance: A Math Tool Kit

    “Reitano's book covers a broad range of mathematics used in quantitative finance without requiring a higher-level mathematics degree. This will be an all-in-one reference for a wide variety of professionals and students, and could potentially replace several more focused books on the readers' bookshelves. A highly recommended resource.”

    — Robert Kimmel, Department of Finance, Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University

  • Introduction to Quantitative Finance: A Math Tool Kit

    "...What distinguishes the book is that results are proved; this book is not a collection of formulas: “[F]ew good careers … depend on the application of standard formulas in standard situations. All such applications tend to be automated and run in companies’ computer systems....” What makes it valuable for mathematicians striving for relevance is that each chapter concludes with a section on applications to finance (sometimes longer than the rest of the chapter)....."

    Paul J. Campbell, Editor, “Reviews.” Mathematics Magazine, 83(5)

  • Introduction to Quantitative Finance: A Math Tool Kit

    “Robert Reitano makes difficult mathematical subjects accessible by using intuitive explanations. This book will be important to practitioners of quantitative finance and business school and finance graduate students interested in financial theory.”

    Ahmet Duran, Department of Mathematics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

  • Introduction to Quantitative Finance: A Math Tool Kit

    “Robert R. Reitano has written an ambitious and beautiful book.”
