Summary: Elegant Math Book on Finance - you need the math to read
Comment: This is a math book on a finance topic. It is not a course for to teach people finance. It is a very elegant and sophisticated book for those who are very well versed in the necessary mathematics in stochastic calculus and in particular Martingale theory to show them how these tools can be applied to problems in finance.

If you have the math and are interested in this topic you will get a lot from this book. If you don't have the math, don't bother. This book will be opaque.

Summary: It is indeed meant for learning
Comment: I completely disagree with Student.

This book is indeed meant for learning. Just do not take it as your first entry into Stochastic Calculus. Take it as a second reading. It is complete, thorough and well, very well written.

It will teach you. A lot. All theorems are cross-referenced, so you will not have any "it is obvious that" etc. Theorems are proved, over and over again, until they hammer themselves in your head.

It is a fine achievement, if you want something quick and dirty read something else.

Summary: Not meant for learning
Comment: Some books are meant to teach, and to elucidate new material; this book is not one of them. It seems the purpose of this book was rather to record for prosperity all theorems related to Stochastic Calculus. Instead of developing any intuition on the subject, the author seems to think the purpose of writing is to use the most elegant proofs with the most modern of mathematical jargon. In short, the book consists of stated lemmas and theorems with terse, undeveloped proofs. This book will not teach you anything.
