This book talks about the calibration of this model to market prices, asking how possible and advisable it is to enforce a simultaneous fitting to several market observables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Rebonato's writing style is probably the most elegant I have ever seen in a quantitative finance book. His ideas are conveyed in a brief and clear manner... I thoroughly enjoyed this book since it allowed me to discover a whole new world in a fast and painless fashion. I would therefore recommend it to everyone who has any interest in the fascinating universe of fixed-income derivatives.\"--Alireza Javaheri, Quantitative Finance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction xi  Acknowledgements xvii  I.
