Professor Luenberger is well known for his contributions in Automatic Control and Optimization. This is an outstanding book for understanding modern quantitative approaches to finance if you are an Engineer or have adequate mathematical training. The material is logically presented, and the significance of the results are explained. A companion book I recommend is "Financial Modeling" by Simon Benninga (2008).
I don't understand how garbage like this gets chosen for university classes. Maybe it's to force students to rely on the professor. Anyhow, other than the typos, the examples are as bad as they get. For instance, in chapter 16, the author barely mentions the formulas used for the excel files. I had to play around with sample calculations until I finally figured it out. You will waste HOURS of your life trying to use this for self study. By the way, I passed exams P and FM on my first try, before I even had the class that used this book.
While the book is a fine introductory guide, it was nothing I wasn't already getting in my lectures. Overall I'd say it's not worth the price unless you're self-teaching, or are required to purchase it for the exercises. But then, that's true of nearly all university-level textbooks.
well organized, but with typo and grammar mistakes
Excellent
