Synopsis

Written in a clear, conversational style, this fourth edition of the classic Futures, Options, and Swaps provides the most comprehensive coverage of derivatives currently available.

An enhanced and updated version of OPTION! - the IBM PC-compatible program that can compute virtually every option and swap value discussed in this book - is included with the text. The software is also downloadable from the Futures, Options, and Swaps website, http: //www .blackwellpublishing.com/kolb. The fourth edition has been extensively updated and reflects the evolution away from the 'Chicago'-style markets that has happened in recent years. Chapters on futures markets, interest rate futures, and stock index futures have also been significantly revised.

Media Reviews
Bob Kolb's Futures, Options, and Swaps is the best college textbook I have ever reviewed in my 25-year teaching career. In my opinion, every finance professor and practitioner should have a copy because it breaks new ground on several fronts. This book is self-contained and combines theory with practice. It is solidly grounded in modern derivative theory and yet has strong ties to the real world of financial derivatives. Suk H. Kim, University of Detroit Mercy This edition, with its outstanding balance of theory and application along with its thorough coverage of relevant institutional arrangements, provides students at all levels with an excellent understanding of these markets. The accompanying OPTION! software is a powerful teaching aide for the pricing of various option and swaps products. Gerry Gay, Georgia State University
