A Short Primer on Finance

H. R. Varian

Chapter Chapter 2 in Mathematical Finance and Probability, 2003, pp 7-39 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this first chapter we address most of the basic issues of our subject within the context of an extremely simple example. The mathematics involved do not go beyond solving a system of two linear equations with two unknowns. However simple, this example will serve as a vehicle to illustrate the main ideas.
