"Mathematical Financial Economics (A Basic Introduction) is indeed a work accessible to the general public and can give a great contribution to the dissemination of knowledge in these areas, so important in modern everyday life. Indispensable either to professionals or to curious people, whether practical or academics, whether graduate or post-graduate students. In short: a true knowledge transfer book." (Manuel Alberto M. Ferreira, Acta Scientiae et Intellectus, Vol. 2 (6), 2016)
