Student Solutions Manual for Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives

I suspect that every student in a University options and derivatives course will purchase this book. I did and I am glad that I did. Very few people will be able to learn a complex topic like options and derivatives without doing problems. This solutions manual provides some sign posts to understanding how to solve the problems and gives the correct answer.When it comes to complex mathematical derivation, however, this book leaves something to be desired. I suppose that this may be good for University instructors who assign problems that are in the solutions manual. Students who simply copy Hull's answers, without the intervening steps, have probably not done the work.Hull is also a popular resource for people learning options on their own. In this case, the solutions manual may be problematic. I have found it difficult to follow many of Hull's derivations. He shows you the steps, but does not show you how he got from step to step.An example from a recent homework was problem 11, in Chapter 14, part b. I was able to set up the differential equations, but I was unable to see how to simplify the equation to arrive at the result that Hull gives.This is a book that virtually everyone who buys Hull's text book will purchase. Especially for those doing self-study, it's too bad that its not more complete.

This contained the solutions so without this I would not have know if I was doing the problems correctly.I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.Also it doesn’t have the solutions to ALL of the end of chapter questions. These should added.

The book was helpful but, as others have noted, it does not contain the answers to the "further questions" in each chapter. It also just provided the answers, no real explanation of how or why for the steps to arrive at the answer.

Great resource. This allows me to do my homework and then review problems that I have missed to rework. Thorough solutions and an awesome study tool.

Many questions are missing from the end of each section. often 3 or more solutions short.

I bought this solutions manual to accompany the book. It covers most of the word and mathematical problems in the textbook. The solutions manual solves the problems and explains the solutions in a very easy to follow manner. The only "issue" is that it seems like the text and solutions manual were written by two diffrent people and solve problems using diffrent approaches. It shouldn't be a problem for anyone that has some finance courses under their belt.

This is a great resource to go along with the textbook. The questions from the book are reprinted and the manual provides a summary of how to get to the correct answer. I would highly recommend for anyone taking their first class on derivatives as it will significantly cut down on confusion.

If you got the book and you stuck in the problems, you should buy this book. Is really cheap and worth it. It shows step by step to get the answer.

just perfect

I opened the package only to discover that the book has a bent in it. As a perfectionist and a book lover, this is something I cannot stand..Book itself is very useful when studying this course.

Buen libro para una mejor comprensión financiera

We have 8th edition of hull now. Unfortunately this is solution of previous edition. To be fair the solution manual of 8th edition isn't available in India

Clear explanations provided for the questions in the book.As the solution manual is for the 7th edition, not all questions will be explained in the latest version of the book. Also, the solutions provided are for Practice questions only and doesn't cover the part on Further questions.Overall worth it.
