Every finance professional wants and needs a competitive edge. A firm foundation in advanced mathematics can translate into dramatic advantages to professionals willing to obtain it. Many are not—and that is the competitive edge these books offer the astute reader. Published under the collective title of Foundations of Quantitative Finance, this set of ten books develops the advanced topics in mathematics that finance professionals need to advance their careers. These books expand the theory most do not learn in graduate finance programs, or in most financial mathematics undergraduate and graduate courses. As an investment executive and authoritative instructor, Robert R. Reitano presents the mathematical theories he encountered and used in nearly three decades in the financial services industry and two decades in academia where he taught in highly respected graduate programs. Readers should be quantitatively literate and familiar with the developments in the earlier books in the set. While the set offers a continuous progression through these topics, each title can be studied independently. Features Extensively referenced to materials from earlier books Presents the theory needed to support advanced applications Supplements previous training in mathematics, with more detailed developments Built from the author's five decades of experience in industry, research, and teaching Published and forthcoming titles in the Robert R.

This is the first in a set of 10 books written for professionals in quantitative finance. These books fill the gap between informal mathematical developments found in introductory materials, and more advanced treatments that summarize without formally developing the important foundational results professionals need. Book I in the Foundations in Quantitative Finance Series develops topics in measure spaces and measurable functions and lays the foundation for subsequent volumes. Lebesgue and then Borel measure theory are developed on R, motivating the general extension theory of measure spaces that follows. This general theory is applied to finite product measure spaces, Borel measures on Rn, and infinite dimensional product probability spaces. The overriding goal of these books is a complete and detailed development of the many mathematical theories and results one finds in popular resources in finance and quantitative finance. Each book is dedicated to a specific area of mathematics or probability theory, with applications to finance that are relevant to the needs of professionals. Practitioners, academic researchers, and students will find these books valuable to their career development. All ten volumes are extensively self-referenced. The reader can enter the collection at any point or topic of interest, and then work backward to identify and fill in needed details. This approach also works for a course or self-study on a given volume, with earlier books used for reference. Advanced quantitative finance books typically develop materials with an eye to comprehensiveness in the given subject matter, yet not with an eye toward efficiently curating and developing the theories needed for applications in quantitative finance. This book and series of volumes fill this need.
