Advanced Quantitative Finance with Modern C++ - Interest Rate Modeling and Advanced Derivatives

From the elegance of the Black Scholes equation to the complexity of multi-factor interest rate models and hybrid derivatives, this book is your comprehensive guide to quantitative finance, complete with 15+ advanced C++ projects using QuantLib and Boost.
You ll move seamlessly from mathematical foundations to real-world implementation, building a professional-grade toolkit for pricing, risk analysis, and calibration. Inside, you will learn core option pricing methods, master single-and multi-factor interest rate models, and construct and calibrate trees and lattices for advanced derivatives. You will also explore cutting edge products: exotic multi-asset options, hybrid derivatives, credit instruments, and cross-currency swaps.
Packed with practical source code, step-by-step calibrations, and performance-tuned Boost integration, this book bridges the gap between academic finance and production-grade quant development. Whether you re a quant developer, financial engineer, or an advanced student, you ll gain the skills to design, implement, and deploy derivatives pricing models ready for the trading floor.

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Aaron De la Rosa is a Fixed Income Quantitative Researcher and C++ Quant Developer specializing in the design and implementation of advanced models for derivative pricing and risk management. With a strong focus on option valuation, particularly exotic and path-dependent instruments, Aaron bridges the gap between theoretical finance and real-world application through high-performance C++ development.
He has extensive experience leveraging QuantLib, the industry-standard open-source library for quantitative finance, to build scalable and production-level solutions in fixed income, structured products, and derivative pricing. His work spans the full spectrum of financial engineering—from modeling stochastic processes and volatility surfaces to constructing efficient numerical solvers such as finite difference methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and lattice-based trees.
Aaron’s passion lies in translating complex financial mathematics into robust, maintainable C++ code. His contributions are guided by modern software engineering principles, with an emphasis on clean architecture, reusable components, and computational efficiency. His expertise is not only technical but also deeply grounded in financial theory, enabling him to craft solutions that are both mathematically sound and software-engineered for performance.
When he’s not developing quantitative models or enhancing pricing frameworks, Aaron actively contributes to the financial developer community and explores new frontiers in interest rate modeling, credit derivatives, and modern C++ design.
