Bonds and derivatives are financial instruments that can, to a large degree, be described "by the numbers". But what do the numbers really mean? Peter Temple does a good job of providing practical methods for calculating some of the most important numbers along with easy-to-understand explanations of what they mean. This makes Temple's book useful for anyone who wants a better understanding of bonds and derivatives.
Bart Broadman - Vice-Chairman, Asia, J.P. Morgan
