The author wrote this book for students who had a strong foundation in math, but little experience in how the math is applied in risk management. He organized the chapters by application: measuring market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Well written and easy to read, the book includes chapter problems and solutions that make it suitable for a risk management course. It will also serve as a good reference for the practitioner.
To be clear, this is a math text. The reader needs to be familiar with basic calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Miller does a great job of explaining the core techniques in risk management. And I liked how he offers practical advice from his experience as a risk manager.
