Here is what people are saying about the Investment Science
5 Star Rating  "Excellent introduction to financial mathematics"2008-05-22
- Reviewed By pravit726
I used this book for an undergraduate intro to financial mathematics course. As an electrical engineering student, I had no previous exposure to the subject, but this book did a great job of explaining finance and the mathematics behind it. The book contains many excellent examples and figures, and really helps you to gain an intuitive understanding of the mathematical and financial topics it presents. This book would be great to use for self-study; Luenberger explains everything in detail and with a friendly, conversational style. Highly recommended!
 
4 Star Rating  "The book's a book"2008-02-23

The book was fine, but the shipping was absolutely horrible. This is the first and last time I ever try to buy a textbook online - I hate UPS!
 
1 Star Rating  "It might be a good finance book,"2007-08-14
- Reviewed By rrjailal
but it's a terrible math book.

Too often, explanations, examples, and problems do not clearly explain the meanings of variables and applicable assumptions. This poor presentation of material makes the book barely usable to someone trying to learn the material for the first time.
 
5 Star Rating  "superb coverage of subject matter"2007-07-30
- Reviewed By cybershotseller
Prof. Luenberger currently teaches at Stanford and this book is used as the textbook for a 2-quarter series in investment science there. The coverage is concise and the math is manageable and yet extremely practical. I agree that this an excellent self-study book in the subject of investment science.
 
4 Star Rating  "good but not excellent"2007-03-15
- Reviewed By jucheng
This book serves very good introduction to mathematical finance. Particularly,
I enjoyed the discussion of bonds immunization, mean-variance theory, CAPM, APT.
It's most suitable for senior undergraduates or any junior graduate students.
But it doesn't deserve 5 star for the following reasons:

1) Most of the theories discussed so far in the book are TOO idealized and
over simplified. Financial data is dynamic and massive. In model quantitative/computational finance, the most important thing is to understand what the data says rather than what one thinks the data structure might be. With the book, one probably can only do some macroeconomic/very coarse analysis. Author should incorporate more data analysis evidence together with proposed theories.

2) The proof of ito's lemma is wrong(i.e. "Deltaz^2 --> deterministic as Deltat --> 0"). It's surprising since most books make the same mistake. It is the law of the large number contributes to the equality!(i.e. integration sense). The misunderstanding of the proof might lead to the misunderstanding of the hedging process.

3) In the commodity option pricing session, author demonstrated the use of futher market to price the option. This should be discussed further (i.e. black's model).

4) The volatility pumping session should be further researched. The explanation is
not satisfactory.
 
5 Star Rating  "Good book to understand quantitative finance"2005-06-10
- Reviewed By flavio146
Luenberger was a professor of optimization and his books on that subject are also very good. Clear and Precise. But sometimes he is extremely concise, so that you need to work a bit to completely understand a point.

In this book, we have again the same style (after all, it is the author style): Clear and precise book, GOOD choice of notation (I cant say the same thing about HULL's books) but sometimes extremely concise.
Overall, a good book to start learning and on a solid foundation.
