Derivatives: A PowerPlus Picture Book is an introductory text on derivatives. In contrast to most other books on the subject, this book emphasizes the development of economic intuition while keeping the use of mathematics as elementary as possible.

What makes this unique among all currently published books on any subject is its seamless integration of a professionally prepared computer presentation with a textbook. Each of 342 8.5" by 11" printed pages interweaves a 4" by 5" slide together with the running printed text of the book. Using the accompanying 360+ MB CD-ROM with a computer equipped with Windows® 98/2000®, the Picture Book has the following additional features:

n 342 professionally designed PowerPoint® slides (also blended with printed textbook) with navigation links

n 100 audio mini-lectures (about 7-8 hours) recorded from live classroom experience with the Picture Book

n 4 interactive computer applications coupled with 60 exercises, accessed by clicking icons on related slides – MATLAB® for Derivatives, Rubinstein’s Options Calculator©, and options.live and Hedge 99©

n an omnipresent pop-up WinHelp glossary with definition of notation and discussion of 600 terms

n hundreds of hyperlinked Internet sites (from the glossary)

n 30 extended worked numerical examples supplementing the examples in the printed text

n interactive end-of-chapter quizzes

n several additional documents on the CD-ROM which are not in the printed text

n annotated and application bibliographies and problems printed with the text

Although you do not need to own PowerPoint® to use these features, if you do, you can modify the slides to suit your own preferences.

This book will not be available in bookstores, but must be purchased at this web site.
