The content is very detailed and the mathematics and case studies/example problems provide a very thorough deeper understanding of the material. The author is obviously very well educated in this area. I highly recommend from a finance grad student. Review: What is this?? Text size for Ants???? - I ordered the hardcover for over $100 and I get a soft cover with size 4 font. Barely legible. Impossibly small text. This has to be an unauthorized reprint
