WAYNE L. WINSTON
First published in 1998, Financial Models Using Simulation and Optimization quickly became one of the most widely used references for the application of simulation and optimization techniques to financial problems. Now, author Wayne Winston has done it again with a totally new volume! Financial Models II is packed with real-life examples that demonstrate how @RISK, Evolver and Excel can be used to make better financial decisions. Winston's straightforward, step-by-step approach makes his innovative techniques accessible to anyone who uses Microsoft Excel. 

Like its predecessor, Financial Models II features years' worth of experience in setting up and solving complicated financial problems using Microsoft Excel and DecisionTools software. You will learn valuable analytical techniques that will help you get the most out of @RISK, Evolver, and Excel. A wide variety of financial examples are presented and solved step-by-step in over 65 chapters. This isn't a book of long-winded theoretical discussions. It's a practical, step-by-step guide that you can use immediately to build the models that you need!

This is truly a groundbreaking book that should spur wide adoption of simulation and optimization in finance.

Financial Models features years' worth of experience in setting up and solving complicated financial problems using Microsoft® Excel® and DecisionTools software. You will learn valuable analytical techniques that will help you get the most out of @RISK, Evolver, PrecisionTree® and TopRank®. Each chapter covers one or more example problems (over 60 in all!), showing you step-by-step how to set up and analyze each model. This isn't a book of long-winded theoretical discussions. It's a practical, step-by-step guide that you can use immediately to build the models that you need!

The models in the book have been used at executive training classes at major corporations, including GM, NCR, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. All the models are included on CD-ROM along with trial versions of DecisionTools software. Dr. Wayne Winston is author of two of the leading MBA-level Operations Research texts, including Operations Research and Management Science. He is also author of Simulation Modeling Using @RISK, a popular hands-on guide to risk analysis and simulation with @RISK.

If you build financial models, review them or just want to learn more about the applications of simulation and optimization techniques to the financial aspects of your business, you need this book! 505 pp.
