An Introduction to Mathematical Finance with Applications

An Introduction to Mathematical Finance with Applications

Arlie O. Petters; Xiaoying Dong

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2018
nidottu
This textbook aims to fill the gap between those that offer a theoretical treatment without many applications and those that present and apply formulas without appropriately deriving them. The balance achieved will give readers a fundamental understanding of key financial ideas and tools that form the basis for building realistic models, including those that may become proprietary. Numerous carefully chosen examples and exercises reinforce the student’s conceptual understanding and facility with applications. The exercises are divided into conceptual, application-based, and theoretical problems, which probe the material deeper.The book is aimed toward advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students who are new to finance or want a more rigorous treatment of the mathematical models used within. While no background in finance is assumed, prerequisite math courses include multivariable calculus, probability, and linear algebra. The authors introduce additional mathematical tools as needed. The entire textbook is appropriate for a single year-long course on introductory mathematical finance. The self-contained design of the text allows for instructor flexibility in topics courses and those focusing on financial derivatives. Moreover, the text is useful for mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who want to learn finance via an approach that builds their financial intuition and is explicit about model building, as well as business school students who want a treatment of finance that is deeper but not overly theoretical.

In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country - a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets, people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children.

Stolen Pride

Stolen Pride

Arlie Russell Hochschild

THE NEW PRESS

sidottu
In her first book since the widely acclaimed Strangers in Their Own Land, National Book Award finalist and bestselling author Arlie Russell Hochschild now ventures to Appalachia, uncovering the "pride paradox" that has given the right's appeals such resonance.A 2024 New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice PickA New York Times Book Review Best Book of the YearOne of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2024Longlisted for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for NonfictionFor all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue/red divide, we've ignored what economic and cultural loss can do to pride. What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks, when a proud people in a hard-hit region suffer the deep loss of pride and are confronted with a powerful political appeal that makes it feel "stolen"?Hochschild's research drew her to Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia, within the whitest and second-poorest congressional district in the nation, where the city was reeling: coal jobs had left, crushing poverty persisted, and a deadly drug crisis struck the region. Although Pikeville was in the political center thirty years ago, by 2016, 80 percent of the district's population voted for Donald Trump. Her brilliant exploration of the town's response to a white nationalist march in 2017 — a rehearsal for the deadly Unite the Right march that would soon take place in Charlottesville, Virginia — takes us deep inside a torn and suffering community.Hochschild focuses on a group swept up in the shifting political landscape: blue-collar men. In small churches, hillside hollers, roadside diners, trailer parks, and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, Hochschild introduces us to unforgettable people, and offers an original lens through which to see them and the wider world. In Stolen Pride, Hochschild incisively explores our dangerous times, even as she also points a way forward."A piercing . . . impressive and nuanced assessment of a critical factor in American politics." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

By and through the love of God, the author has lived long enough to tell his thought-provoking, sometimes humorous story. Included in this book the reader will also find devotions and Christian poems and prose.Mr. Webb was born in Jenkins, Kentucky in 1954 to the late Arlie and Kathleen Howington Webb.

Tidsfælden

Tidsfælden

Arlie Russell Hochschild

Gyldendal
2022
nidottu
Arlie Russell Hochschild har med Tidsfælden lavet en tidstypisk sociologisk skildring af mennesker i et stort internationalt firma i USA. Hun har interviewet ansatte fra firmaets top til firmaets bund for at undersøge holdninger til arbejde, fritid og familieliv. Den pågældende virksomhed har en erklæret familievenlig personalepolitik. Ironien i denne erklæring er en arbejdsmoral, der ender med at fratage medarbejderne den tid, som burde være ”kvalitetstid” i hjemmet, og en arbejdsplads, som tilbyder et nyt ”surrogathjem”, hvor kollegerne er de nærmeste fortrolige, hvor den gode indsats påskønnes, og hvor alt fungerer effektivt og optimalt. Gennem sine levende portrætter af menneskers hjemmeliv og arbejdsliv viser professor Arlie Hochschild, hvordan tiden er blevet os frastjålet, og hvad dette tyveri har ført med sig: ”Vi har ikke tid til at være familie. Vi har ikke tid til vores børn”, skriver Arlie Hochschild, på basis af sine mange interviews. Det fører til, at børnene bliver emotionelt krævende pga. mangel på nærhed, ægtefæller bliver hinandens rationaliseringseksperter, og moderlighed er noget, man begynder at føle over for sine kolleger, snarere end over for sine børn. Vores hjem er blevet invaderet af normer fra arbejdslivet, gøremål nedskrives på små gule lapper og udføres uden overskud og lyst. Konflikten mellem arbejdsliv og hjemmeliv bliver mere og mere tilspidset, og mange vælger at resignere frem for at gøre noget for at ændre ved situationen. Tidsfælden er en bidende sociologisk og psykologisk kritik af det senmoderne liv, skrevet med indføling og hjertelighed af Arlie Hochschild, der nu er blevet kåret til æresprofessor ved Oslo Universitet. Hun er forfatter til flere bøger om arbejdslivet, bl.a. bogen The Second Shift. Tidsfælden udkom første gang på dansk i 2003 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

I denne bog vises et hårrejsende billede af den senmoderne levevis i vores årtusinde. Vi er udsultede ikke på materielle goder men på tid. Det moderne arbejdsliv kræver at arbejdspladsen er en slags surrogathjem, mens hjemmelivet så tilsidesættes. Arlie Hochschild har med sine dybdeborende interviews af mennesker i et stort internationalt firma, beskrevet arbejdspresset og den manglende tid til familien, med baggrund i et firma med erklæret familievenlig personalepolitik. Denne politik rammer børnene og familielivet hårdt, fordi arbejdslivet fratager os den tid som burde være "kvalitetstid" i hjemmet. Vi har ikke tid til at være familie. Vi har ikke tid til vore børn skriver Arlie Hochschild, på basis af sine mange interviews. Det fører til at børnene bliver emotionelt krævende, de vil ikke snydes for tid og kontakt. Ægtefæller bliver hinandens rationaliseringseksperter, og moderlighed er noget som man føler over for kolleger snarere end over for sine børn. Vore hjem er blevet invaderet af normer fra arbejdslivet og konflikten mellem arbejdsliv og hjemmeliv bliver mere og mere tilspidset. Der er tale om en bidende sociologisk og psykologisk kritik af det senmoderne liv, skrevet med indføling og hjertelighed af Arlie Hochschild, der nu er blevet kåret til æresprofessor ved Oslo Universitet.

The Commercialization of Intimate Life

The Commercialization of Intimate Life

Hochschild Arlie Russell

University of California Press
2003
pokkari
Arlie Russell Hochschild, author of three "New York Times" Notable Books, has been one of the freshest and most popular voices in feminist sociology over the last decades. Her influential, unusually perceptive work has opened up new ways of seeing family life, love, gender, the workplace, market transactions - indeed, American life itself. This book gathers some of Hochschild's most important and most widely read articles in one place, includes new work, and brings several essays to American audiences for the first time. Each chapter reflects on the complex negotiations we make day to day to juggle the conflicting demands of love and work. Taken together, they are a compelling, often startling, look at how our everyday lives are shaped by modern capitalism. These essays, rich with the details of everyday life, explore larger social issues by looking at a series of intimate moments in people's lives. Among them, "Love and Gold" investigates the globalization of love by focusing on care workers who leave their own children and elderly to care for children and the elderly in wealthy countries. In "The Commodity Frontier," Hochschild considers an Internet ad for a 'beautiful, smart, hostess, good masseuse - $400/week', and explores our responses to personal services for hire. In "From the Frying Pan into the Fire" she asks if capitalism is a religion. In addition to these recent essays, several of Hochschild's important early essays, such as 'Inside the Clockwork of Male Careers', have been revised and updated for this collection.

The Time Bind

The Time Bind

Hochschild Arlie Russell

Owl Books,U.S.
2003
nidottu
The national bestseller that put "work/family balance" in the headlines and on the White House agenda, with a new introduction by the author. When "The Time Bind" was first published in 1997, it was hailed as the decade's most influential study of our work/family crisis. In the short time since, the crisis has only become more acute. Arlie Russell Hochschild, bestselling author of The Second Shift, spent three summers at a Fortune 500 company interviewing top executives, secretaries, factory hands, and others. What she found was startling: Though every mother and nearly every father said "family comes first," few of these working parents questioned their long hours or took the company up on chances for flextime, paternity leave, or other "family friendly" policies. Why not? It seems the roles of home and work had reversed: work was offering stimulation, guidance, and a sense of belonging, while home had become the place in which there was too much to do in too little time. Today Hochschild's findings are more relevant than ever. As she shows in her new introduction, the borders between family and work have become even more permeable. With the Internet extending working hours at home and offices offering domestic enticements -- free snacks, soft music -- to keep employees later at their jobs, The Time Bind stands as an increasingly important warning about the way we live and work.
