Great Text: The only of its kind August 31, 2008
I found the books at the EFM conference in Greece and bought vol. I and II.
I would like to thank Prof. Carol for the wonderful books. These texts has made my life as PhD student much easier and confident. I was looking for something like this for past 1.5 years and when I saw these volumes, it was like discovering the holy grail.
I entered into phd (finance) after long gap of academic study and was looking for texts which could provide the basis and reference to update my quant skills. Profound thanks to Prof. Carol for writing these wonderful volumes, which has availed all the tools that I will need for my PhD and as a future professional in the field of quantiative finance.
I highly recommend these volumes to anybody who wants to understand quantitative finance, particularly risk management, in a rigourous yet in a very accessible form. WONDERFUL TEXTS.

Just one hint, from somebody who learned a lot from Carol - if somebody with her experience decides to invest 5 years in sharing their understanding of the world of finance, I wouldn't miss the chance to read it! The scope of the book is unparalleled, and it doesn't come at the expense of thoroughness and clarity. And what you wouldn't get from four other books on those topics, is a unified, consolidated, approach to analysing and understanding areas which traditionally have been seen in isolation. I don't need to mention what difference it makes in practice, once you have the details, to be able to take one step back and see the bigger picture.
It will revolutionise the risk management profession May 18, 2008

Market Risk Analysis is a landmark to the risk management profession.
It's the first collection to cover from the mathematical foundations of quantitative finance to the more complex model applications.
Quantitative Methods in Finance is a rigorous and yet accessible presentation of the fundamental methods with objective exercises presented in the CD.
I highly recommend this book as I believe it will be a reference for both professionals and academics.
comprehensive yet concise - must have for risk professionals May 5, 2008

Is very impressed with Market Models and have been waiting for another book for years now and couldnt have been better with a whole new series. A++ for its unmatched delivery style, step-by-step approach, and amazing content.
The topics are neatly arranged starting with essential maths in Vol1, advanced Econometrics in vol 2, option theory + other instruments in 3rd and VaR in 4th. Easy to understand and assimilate. All that one needs to master market risk.
I love the cds that accompany each volume - use it at work at times! It's comprehensive yet concise. Doesn't take lots of pages to drive a simple concepts across."
