A course-style introduction to derivatives
Jesse McDougall’s book surveys three central derivative instruments—futures, options, and swaps—within the broader context of financial markets. Presented as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate finance courses, it is also described as a resource for independent study. The stated range runs from introductory material to intermediate knowledge, giving the subject a structured educational frame rather than treating derivatives as a single technique. The author’s professional and teaching background is included in the source description, which situates the book in both market practice and finance education.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Beginning or intermediate learners seeking an introduction to futures, options, and swaps.
- Undergraduate or graduate students in finance courses.
- Self-study investors looking to deepen their knowledge of derivatives.
