Wow… good stuff. Mastering Python for Finance really delivers. It does a fine job blending academic theory with a practitioner’s penchant for useful applications, delivering Python code all the way to guide the reader along his / her journey. I have not worked all of the examples yet, but I am looking forward to doing so – especially the sections that use Hadoop & Python together.

A pretty good survey on many object-oriented implementations common in Finance.Plenty of applications and examples -some indeed with errors , though on the positive it is a useful learning experience to do some minor debugging !-.As with many practical reference books try to buy the print version, this is not bedtime reading stuff.

金融工学の基礎を一通り習得した人が、pythonでコードをかけるようになるための一冊。目次の内容に対して、特に数学的な証明等なしで天下り的にPythonのコードが羅列されているので、ファイナンスの入門者にはお勧めしない。費用対効果は高い。

Bon livre en général mais dommage qu'il soit en Python 2.7 et non Python3.5. Sinon, les solutions sont très bien expliquées et l'organisation est claire.
