publisher told me it will go in print Dec 20. What is new: Old version is about 220 pages, 2nd edtion is about 530 pagesNew version has CD (with lots of 3D graphics of all types of things), no longer floppy disk. In particular I am happy with the CD. very user friendly and in many cases have more than described in book Below is preliminary table of content that can give you a little idea: page numbers no longer fit as the book got a bit longer and various adjustments just took place: (more than twice as long as first edition, CD instead of floppy, much more of everything and price is same, or actually has gone down, this is a no brainier, excellent Christmas present! If you dont like it you can always use the pages to wrap your other Christmas presents. Presents wrapped in option formulas, what a original idea in these days when people have everything!

I'm going to buy this book, but can someone tell me why is it that it costs almost the same amount in dollars and pounds?

I'm sure those nice people at the Wilmott bookshop will make it cheaper.For whatever reason The Collector hasn't sent me a copy of the new book, but I would point out that the old version was one of the books we recommend in our Guide to Getting a Quant job.

Besides what mentioned in table of contents the CD also show how to value a series of exotic options not mention in book: like square root options and for example options on tangens and cosinus options.... window barrier (using MC) etc. I did last proof reading just now, would like to do more, but at some point I had to let the manuscript go....next is get it to the printing press....they told me Dec 20, so not sure if it will be ready for Christmas....so unfortunately looks like Cuchulainn wife not will get the present she wish for this year, she will have to get another copy of "Introduction to C++ For Financial Engineers "

All those formulae are her work.Greeting from Vancouver (unexpected climate change last weekend: lots of snow and fallen power lines). On Whistler it was minus 20 degree Celsius.
