Well actually there is few books that is suitable for self-learning. Many books are just good reference books.

What I recommend is still the two bibles of finance:

1. John Hull: Options futures and other derivatives

2. Steven Shreve: Stochastic calculus for Finance (I & II)

These two books both have editions in Chinese, but I strongly recommend you to read the original version.

Some people may say that I am a little out of date to recommend these two books, but I think those two are very good books that worth reading over and over and always keep at your hands . And also, don't just read, try to finish all the exercises on the book. It will make great help.

Other good books are mostly touching a particular area that is too narrow for beginners. You just need to read them when you come to study that area.

Another good way is to come to this forum to discuss with other people whenever you have questions.

best,

What about math and computer?

Shreve's book is a mathematical book. Mathematical finance is mainly stochastic calculus. His book is actually a little hard for beginners. But among all the books with the same topic, his is probably the easiest and most clear.

Haha, don't try to run before you can walk, you should first have a solid foundation of theory instead of how to implement those theories. But if you really want to learn some programming skills, what I recommend is Matlab. It is easy for beginners. The best way to learn coding is practicing. There are many books for Matlab in Chinese, you can choose any of them since they have no big difference. And also, some of those books are about how to solve finance problems with Matlab. You can follow the example on the books and replicate them.

After all, mathematics and programming skills are just tools. You should focus on the finance part first namely to learn the idea about how to solve or modal those finance problems.

Best,

Thanks a lot！

还有个事，学校只设了微积分、线代和概率论，恐怕不够吧，这个应该怎么办
