Why read it?
1 author picked An Introduction to the Mathematics of Financial Derivatives as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Starting with the fundamentals, it goes much further than a simple “introduction”, and typically fits with the needs of a “quant” specializing in options, with a good balance between pure theoretical, mathematical developments (such as Partial Differential Equations, Girsanov theorem, Markov processes, etc) and practical applications on option pricing.
From Alain's list on The most useful books on quantitative finance applied to financial markets instruments.
