Volume 1: Mathematical and Financial Foundations; Basic Theory of Derivatives; Risk and Return.

Numerical methods are also introduced so that the models can now all be accurately and quickly solved. Throughout the volumes, the author has included numerous Bloomberg screen dumps to illustrate in real terms the points he raises, together with essential Visual Basic code, spreadsheet explanations of the models, the reproduction of term sheets and option classification tables. In addition to the practical orientation of the book the author himself also appears throughout the book--in cartoon form, readers will be relieved to hear--to personally highlight and explain the key sections and issues discussed.

This book definitely helped me understand the Black-Scholes better. Paul Wilmott keeps algebraic notations to a minimum, so it helped an engineer like me quickly understand the concepts. I have only read half of the 1st book, my job doesn't require me to modify the equations we used, but it helped me quite a lot as a reference when going to some pricing/structuring VBA code, since it had all the math that I needed (barrier pricing, convexity adjustment). When compared to Hull, Wilmott is easier to read because he really omits any unneccessary words. However, as some others have commented, some of the proofs are not so trivial to me. There's a section where he used Taylor approximation, but I didn't understand where the constant "3" came from. The biggest problem is that this book is $200~300. However, I got our dept to pay for it, so it worked out in the end.
