Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in the Mathematical Theory of Investment When my book on The Mathematical Theory of In vestment was written, considerable difficulty was experi enced in finding a sufficient number of practical problems with which to illustrate the theory. As every teacher of elementary mathematics knows, solutions of the problems in any book that is used from year to year soon become current among the student body, so that the usefulness of a limited book list is to a large extent destroyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mathematical Theory of Investment This book has been written for the use of students of busim iti id public affairs. The fact that, with a few notable exceptions, colleges and universities have hitherto made no provision for courses in mathematics adapted to meet the needs of students trained for commercial careers and for the public service, is due in no small measure to the lack of a suitable textbook. In recent years the closer study of business methods and the extension of governmental control over many forms of industrial and financial activity have greatly emphasized the value, to students of finance, of a knowledge of what the Germans call "political arithmetic." In an attempt to meet the need for a book covering this field, some of the more important topics relating to the theory of interest and its application to the larger affairs of modern everyday life have been brought together. The following pages contain, in somewhat elaborated form, the substance of a course of lectures given annually for the last five years to the students in the course in commerce in the University of Wisconsin. While I have tried to make the book practical throughout, I have sought to make it a book of first principles rather than a guide to detailed practice. I trust that the reader will find the treatment adapted to present-day conditions and needs. I shall be gratified if I have in any way contributed to the more efficient training, in principles of sound finance, of the splendid body of young men who are going out from our courses in commerce to become leaders in the business world. In selecting topics for consideration, an effort has been made to avoid those that are still the subject of controversy. If this rule has been departed from in devoting some space to depreciation, it is on account of the great importance of the subject.

Download or read book A History of the Theory of Investments written by Mark Rubinstein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This exceptional book provides valuable insights into the evolution of financial economics from the perspective of a major player." -- Robert Litzenberger, Hopkinson Professor Emeritus of Investment Banking, Univ. of Pennsylvania; and retired partner, Goldman Sachs A History of the Theory of Investments is about ideas -- where they come from, how they evolve, and why they are instrumental in preparing the future for new ideas. Author Mark Rubinstein writes history by rewriting history. In unearthing long-forgotten books and journals, he corrects past oversights to assign credit where credit is due and assembles a remarkable history that is unquestionable in its accuracy and unprecedented in its power. Exploring key turning points in the development of investment theory, through the critical prism of award-winning investment theory and asset pricing expert Mark Rubinstein, this groundbreaking resource follows the chronological development of investment theory over centuries, exploring the inner workings of great theoretical breakthroughs while pointing out contributions made by often unsung contributors to some of investment's most influential ideas and models.

Book excerpt: Why the book is interesting today is that it still is important and the most authoritative work on how to value financial assets. "Williams combined original theoretical concepts with enlightening and entertaining commentary based on his own experiences in the rough-and-tumble world of investment." Williams' discovery was to project an estimate that offers intrinsic value and it is called the 'Dividend Discount Model' which is still used today by professional investors on the institutional side of markets.

Download or read book The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion written by Leonard C. MacLean and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the definitive treatment of fortune's formula or the Kelly capital growth criterion as it is often called. The strategy is to maximize long run wealth of the investor by maximizing the period by period expected utility of wealth with a logarithmic utility function. Mathematical theorems show that only the log utility function maximizes asymptotic long run wealth and minimizes the expected time to arbitrary large goals. In general, the strategy is risky in the short term but as the number of bets increase, the Kelly bettor's wealth tends to be much larger than those with essentially different strategies. So most of the time, the Kelly bettor will have much more wealth than these other bettors but the Kelly strategy can lead to considerable losses a small percent of the time. There are ways to reduce this risk at the cost of lower expected final wealth using fractional Kelly strategies that blend the Kelly suggested wager with cash. The various classic reprinted papers and the new ones written specifically for this volume cover various aspects of the theory and practice of dynamic investing. Good and bad properties are discussed, as are fixed-mix and volatility induced growth strategies. The relationships with utility theory and the use of these ideas by great investors are featured.

Download or read book Interest and Bond Values Classic Reprint written by M. A. Mackenzie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interest and Bond Values This little book is not to be regarded as a treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Interest - that theory which has been so ably expounded by Mr. King in The Theory of Finance and by Mr. Todhunter in the d104 Book of the Institute of Actuaries, Part I. It is merely an explanation of the Interest Tables and Tables of Bond Values now in common use and an attempt to instruct students concerning them. While an elementary knowledge of Algebra is a powerful aid to the intelligent appreciation and use of such tables, and Algebra has not been excluded from the following pages, yet it is believed that nearly everything contained therein may be followed by anyone who will take the trouble to learn the meanings of the standard interest symbols. Mainly written for the use of the author's own classes in the elementary mathematics of finance, it is hoped that the book may also be of value, not only to actuarial students but also to that increasing number of men who are finding it a business necessity to thoroughly understand the tables referred to. The author desires to thank many friends for valuable suggestions. He hopes that all errors have been corrected and that in other respects also the book has been rendered more useful especially for classroom purposes.
