The Monte Carlo method is now acknowledged as being one of the most robust tools for a range of applications in finance, from option pricing to risk management and optimization. One of the best languages for the development of Monte Carlo applications and frameworks is C++, an object-oriented and generic programming language which is also an industry standard.

This is one of the first books that describe all the steps that are needed in order to analyze, design and implement Monte Carlo applications. It discusses the financial theory as well as the mathematical and numerical background that is needed to write flexible and efficient C++ code using state-of-the-art design and system patterns, object-oriented and generic programming models in combination with standard libraries and tools.

DANIEL J. DUFFY has been working with numerical methods in finance, industry and engineering since 1979. He has written four books on financial models and numerical methods and C++ for computational finance and he has also developed a number of new schemes for this field. He is the founder of Datasim Education and has a PhD in Numerical Analysis from Trinity College, Dublin.

JÖRG KIENITZ is the head of Quantitative Analysis at Deutsche Postbank AG. He is primarily involved in the developing and implementation of models for pricing of complex derivatives structures and for asset allocation. He is also lecturing at university level on advanced financial modelling and gives courses on ‘Applications of Monte Carlo Methods in Finance’ and on other financial topics including Lévy processes and interest rate models. Joerg holds a Ph.D. in stochastic analysis and probability theory.
