Review: Where are the pictures? - This book tries to enforce good C++ programming practices, in particular design patterns, for options pricing, with a hands-on approach, concisely and clearly. The main drawback is the lack of diagrams: when designing object oriented programs, you draw a lot of doodles (learned people call them "UML diagrams", but they are just doodles), that are useful to clarify your ideas and to communicate them. Why is there none? I checked other C++ finance books, and they all had the same problem -- if you plan to write yet another C++ finance book, you know what not to forget... You are probably better off with a more general book about "good programming practices" (including, but not limited to, design patterns: Design Patterns, by E. Gamma et al., is the classical reference, but there might be newer books), a book about C++ programming quirks (such as S. Meyers's Effective C++), together with a more mathematically-oriented options book -- only come back to M. Joshi's book afterwards and consider it as an application of those practices. Review: A Superb, Practical Introduction to Quant Programming - This book stands out because it has clearly been written by a quant practitioner rather than a pure theorist. It regularly focuses on the real life challenge of producing a performant, maintainable system which can be enhanced over time with minimal impact. Though it does not claim to be an introduction to C++ or Mathematical Finance, its onion-skin approach is effective in guiding those with a very basic knowledge in these two areas into some reasonably advanced terrain. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,656,739 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,692 in Programming Languages & Tools 3,864 in Introduction to Programming 3,870 in Applied Mathematics (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (7) | | Dimensions | 17.78 x 1.91 x 25.4 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0521832357 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521832359 | | Item weight | 626 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 214 pages | | Publication date | 5 Aug. 2004 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![C++ Design Patterns and Derivatives Pricing (Mathematics, Finance and Risk, Series Number 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415uxP0ogTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where are the pictures? *by V***D on 13 August 2006* This book tries to enforce good C++ programming practices, in particular design patterns, for options pricing, with a hands-on approach, concisely and clearly.

It regularly focuses on the real life challenge of producing a performant, maintainable system which can be enhanced over time with minimal impact. Though it does not claim to be an introduction to C++ or Mathematical Finance, its onion-skin approach is effective in guiding those with a very basic knowledge in these two areas into some reasonably advanced terrain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***R on 20 January 2008* This book is easy to read and hands on. Although there are a lot of excellent books which will give you an introduction to C++ for general purposes, I will still recommend this book to people who want to learn C++ for derivatives pricing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/805831275-c-design-patterns-and-derivatives-pricing-mathematics-finance-and-risk](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/805831275-c-design-patterns-and-derivatives-pricing-mathematics-finance-and-risk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
