Review
"Its focus on financial engineering and the actual use of derivative instruments makes Neftci's book an extremely useful complement to the standard introductions to derivative pricing and financial mathematics. The value of the text has been enhanced further by the addition of five chapters on structured products and credit derivatives not present in the first edition." --Rüdiger Frey, University of Leipzig
"Since its publication in 2004, Neftci's book has become the de facto reference text for financial engineering practitioners and academics. With renewed and extended emphasis on structured products engineering, Neftci keeps the material relevant and up to date for the current state of the financial markets.” --Dan Stefanica, Baruch College

The more recent book, Principles of Financial Engineering, was selected as the runner up for The Book of the Year award by Risk magazine during 2004. His current research deals with pricing of contingent credit lines, the relationship between yield curve curvature and volatility. He is also working on using the Credit Default Swap prices to predict financial crises. Overall, Professor Neftci's research and teaching is in the areas of financial engineering, risk management of extreme events and in emerging market asset trading strategies. His latest papers deal with risk measurement using extreme value theory and volatility dynamics.

Great Professor. Nice Book. Prof. Neftci, Rest in Peace. I hope your friends and kids, who are working in this field, can help you finish the Calibration book. Thank you for your teaching.
This is one of the best textbooks I have ever read. Whether you are a finance person or math person this book is a great text to learn and master financial engineering. There are plenty of books on the subject, but few are targeted as an instructive introduction into all aspects of a very complex field.
I call this introductory, because it instructs and not because it lacks depth in its treatment of the topics.
The author is an excellent instructor, and presents very complex topics in a very approachable way for the student.
After completing this text you will have a solid foundation in the field.
This book is for the student, professional, or even the average person who wants to learn a fascinating field of finance.
Like Prof. Duffie said, it carefully balanced between theory and practice. An complementary book should be named Implementations of Financial Engineering.
