ton's of finance algorithm source in C++

March 22nd, 2002, 7:48 am

hi all!

I had found some useful webpage where has ton's of C++ souce related to
finance..http://finance.bi.no/~bernt/gcc_prog/ (it is GNU site)

i did not review deeply that source but. it's like that covered much part of
wilmott's book

because my mid plan was building application program(by C++, VB) covering
almost all part of wilmott's book for study, it seems to me that the site
make my efforts to be shabby -_-;

1. is there any one who use finance recipy in C++ like that site, if so may I
ask some comment's about it?

2. one question to senior memeber or quilified proffesional quants :
which is better between building every souce which was need for his work
and downloading or copying from someone and give his time only to analyse
problem

Hi!

1) the paper is fine, but i recommend you Haug´s book. It has all algorithms and formulas and its very practical.
2) eeehhhh???

Option Pricing Formulas

Hi MAGI,
ton´s code is an nice source; the ideas are mainly
taken from Hull. But you shouldn´t overrate it, since
it´s not representing the "state of the art".
