In the last decade, the derivatives business has grown to a staggering size, such that the outstanding notional of all contracts is now many multiples of the underlying world economy. No longer are derivatives for helping people control and manage their financial risks from other business and industries; it seems that the people are toiling away in the fields to keep the derivatives market afloat! (Apologies for the mixed metaphor!) If you work in derivatives, risk, development, trading, etc., you'd better know what you are doing, there's now a big responsibility on your shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this second edition of \u003ci\u003eFrequently Asked Questions in Quantitative Finance\u003c\/i\u003e, I continue in my mission to pull quant finance up from the dumbed-down depths and to drag it back down to earth from the super-sophisticated stratosphere. Readers of my work and blogs will know that I think both extremes are dangerous.
