An advanced book that gives advanced mathematical analysis of valuation, while also implementing insightful material related to contemporary business activity. The book is for people who do have a background around financial valuation and analysis.
One thing that I disliked about the book, is that it felt unusually heavy; the material is written in a way that makes it a struggle to finish reading. Additionally, although the material is advanced, I believe other important could have been also included.
All-in-all, it is a book that is worthy of reading especially because of the sections where mention of business activity is included, which is not apparent in most financial books.
