In praise of Paul Wilmott and his previous works

Some people write for fame, some for money. Most academics write books to impress the professor down the corridor so that one day they will be the professor down the corridor everyone is trying to impress. Uniquely, Paul Wilmott writes to inform and educate his readers, to convey ideas, and, most importantly, to show them how to do it.

His greatest admirers are his readers. So, instead of endorsements from the great and the good, here are the words of his fans. Their sometimes unique spelling has been retained.

I found it to be easily the best book that I have read/worked through on the subject.

I thought it might amuse you to know that I think your book got me a job!

I’d like to say that this is a great book but you already know that!

I’m a junior derivatives trader in Mexico City. I’ve seen your book and I have only one coment: SEXY!

Loved your book, which is a breath of fresh air, amongst all those arid derivatives books!! It really is in a class of its own. I have wasted so much money on stupid derivative books which too elementary or way too complicated.

Purchased both Quant Finance and Derivatives a couple of days ago. Will not be able to afford steak or wine for weeks as a result.

BTW, I want to congratulate you for the *best* book in Financial Engineering I’ve read in the last years.

After reading the book I’d like to follow one of your courses, but they are way too expensive.

Congratulations for your brilliant book.

What I like about it is that it has this no-nonsense kind of approach that you’d expect in a physics text and it spells out the “stuff between the equations”.

Congratulation to your book Derivatives !!! The way you describe, present, and deliver Derivative knowledge is unique! One can feel your passion on the topic. It’s a pleasure to read, study, re-read…

Congratulations on a great new book – ‘PW on Quant Finance’. I bought the DERIVATIVES one but cannot afford this one!!

I am fanatical follower of your book “Derivatives”. You are best and this not flattery. Sorry from my English!

We use it for the part of our Banking and Risk Management course and it’s much more comprehensive than the books that we have recommended in our study guide.

Your book “Derivatives: the Theory and Practice of Financial Engineering” is the best in the market so far.

I shall waste no more precious words but to say that I am very simpathetic to your humor and irony…what most don’t always seem to understand: irony is one of the GREAT filters to access knowledge in this world and an elegant one for that matter.

your book rocks.

Congratulations to the success of your book (I got my copy of it for Christmas).

I would like to thank you for writing Derivatives.

Derivatives is the Greatest! Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Just read the first 7 chapters of Derivatives, and it speaks to me.

complete, brilliant and amusing, stimulating for some original ideas and examples, didactically ready to be used by Students; it employs mathematical tools as tools only, not as a target; it is the last but the best book on derivatives in my library.

You’re book truly struck me as fun, informative and brilliant! Us American would say ‘Awesome Dude!!!’

I had a course on derivatives and your book was not suggested by the teacher (a stupid teacher).

Love you for ever, baby. xxx M
