There are already a number of different techniques employed in the world of international finance which claim to give the user an edge, provide a model to predict market behaviour or to price financial assets and derivatives accurately. Each of these techniques has its supporters and detractors, and while some methodologies, such as Black Scholes, have become predominant, the financial world is constantly on the look out for new theories which can better and more accurately help the analysts and traders.

Kirill Ilinski, who has been developing and publishing his theory over the past four years, offers in Physics of Finance what could become a totally new method of pricing financial assets, applying the techniques of physics to the world of finance. This book could prove to be the pivotal publication as the next generation of traders and financial engineers begin the search for the next significant stage in modern finance.
