Java Methods for Financial Engineering: Applications in Finance and Investment

5 reviews
Philip Barker

Springer, 2007

Not exactly what I expected...
The book seems to be a great introduction to applied mathematics in finance. It puts all of the concepts with illustrations and algorithms in one place. The frustrating part is the code which is why the book is not a 5. All of the other comments are accurate. I will say that it is odd to waste so much page space with source code. Much of this code will not even compile as it is. Some of the ...

Bedtime Stories For A Buck #1

The story is short enough that it can be read to a child over the phone by an absent parent or told in completeness at bedtime - rather than in installments.

P & R Publishing, 2004

Enjoyable History of a God Glorifying Church
Church history is a worthwhile area of study. As we see how God has worked among sinful men and in imperfect churches, we are even more amazed at how He uses these churches and men in great ways. Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia is an enjoyable read that combines insight from early American Presbyterian history, early Philadelphia social and religious history, and of course, the ...

Using Metaphors In Psychotherapy

1 review
Philip Barker

Routledge, 1992

Excellent Overview
The author's presence is strong here. He thoughtfully explains the value, construction, and use of metaphor in therapeutic settings. Is it good for non-therapists? The fact is that anyone interested in metaphor and its use in any setting would gain much from this work. This is a solid, abundantly clear, and very well written study of the subject. He references and describes many seminal ...

Philip Barker, Robert Higham

University of Exeter Press, 2004

Timber!
When the Normans conquered England in 1066, they were presented with a problem -- how does one take control of such a vast and unruly land? It has been generally understood that the Normans built series of castles all across the land for local control; the remains of such castles, if not still in use as residences, are archaeological sites and tourist destinations around the country. The ...
