Acknowledgements
Our main debt is to the individuals from the academic and practitioner communities in finance who first developed the theory and then the numerical methods that form the material for this book. In the words of Sir Isaac Newton "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".
We would also like to thank our colleagues at both London Business School and City University Business School, in particular Elroy Dimson, John Hatgioannides, Paul Marsh and Kiriakos Vlahos.
We would like to thank Sam Whittaker at Wiley for her enthusiasm, encouragement and much needed patience, invaluable qualities for an editor.
Last but not least, we are grateful for the patience of family and friends who have occasionally chivvied us about the book's somewhat lengthy gestation period.
