From the reviews:
"It serves as an introduction to stochastic calculus and integration without any measure theoretical background ? . In summary the book provides a very readable introduction to mathematical finance. ? For a general mathematician it gives a quick insight into the basic concepts of stochastic analysis and mathematical finance and might give some motivation to study the underlying theory in more detail."
