Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-12 00:00:00 John Hayes This was recommended by some of the bright lights over at the QCF (quantitative and computational finance) department upon padding over to ask, "What ought a distinguished Southern gentleman know about option pricing? How might I cheat the long days having fine fun with financial derivatives?" It looks to be a ride roughshod: you know the author's not screwing around when the Foreward opens, "So, Richard Feynmann was like, 'this path integral stuff is all too hard; I'd rather just play bongo drums, hit that sweet stripper action 'round CalTech and put the QEMFD back into QED...call me when you're done.' So, I went ahead and did it, but Feynmann was dead by then, because all the scientist went out of him and the vacuum was filled with dumbkoph Yankee, ja? I will now calculate this vacuum's Nullpunktenergie with great pomp, und enjoy some Spargelzeit, but I must get back to Dancecentrum in Stuttgart in time to see Kraftwerk." Well, it's not exactly like that, but the preface and table of contents are already driving home the Fear and...well, let's open up to a random page that's a multiple of 1000: 14.5 D-Dimensional Systems Let us now perform the path-independent time transformation in D dimensions. The fixed-energy amplitude is given by the integral... and at this point, Dear Reader, things decay rapidly into LaTeX that's simply not going to be reproducible here and wouldn't mean a damn thing to anyone if it was. This one's gonna be taken slow, methinks.
