I am a beginner

[Ihsan Ali Al Darhi]

Hi...

I am a beginner in finance and I need references on financial quantative. Do
you know a book?

Have to disagree - Fabozzi's Fixed Income Mathematics is a complete waste of
money.

If you can find Leibowitz, Inside the Yield Book, it has an excellent
introduction to present value and future value in Part 2.

Fabozzi, Fixed Income Mathematics, covers a lot of the basics.

Fabozzi, Bond Markets:  Analysis and Strategies, takes it to the next level.
