Hull is very good but has become a little profuse over timePWIQF is very accessiblemay I also suggest "Finance & Derivatives: Theory & Practice" (Wiley)SB

But since you make an issue of it, I will respond here.Again, because it's illegal to copy books.The term in English is theft when one downloads copyrighted material without paying for it.Try Wilmott bookshop if it is so difficult. They should give it at a competitive price.hereHope this helps.

Ronwise, Cuchulainn,I have asked for webistes that have Pro. Hull lecture note so I can download them to study along with the book. I have not asked for ebook. Why do not you guys read my thread again? Btw, I have his 6th edition notes already. I am going to buy the book very soon. Last, I deleted another thread because they were duplicate.

I really think Wilmott's book on Quantitative Finance is a must-have as well... While Hull is more an economic approach, Wilmott deals with more technical topics. It will give you a good overview.
