Hi AbrahamA, :)

As interesting your new book sounds I don't understand what it is about. Could you please explain us a bit about the content of your book?

If digital memory serves me write mathematical nonsense that has no meaning of it's own yet in a contrived and imaginary World of AbrahamA lies a specter in Wonderland.

I refer to myself as a self-taught and self-proclaimed Financial Engineer, a claim which is often refuted and rebuked by my adversaries who detest the emissaries of divine light.

Let me make an attempt to eliminate the mystery and tell you my story.

Time is a cruel King that has ruled the World since it was turning and will be ruling till the World be burning.

Value is what something is Worth a dime as they said about my life.

Money is the necessary Evil most likely invented by someone who likes to Divide and Rule (that reminds me of Englishman and Colonial Times of London daily newspaper)

So now we got

Time + Value + Money

That sum is a deadly cocktail served by money lenders who do not have a heart if they do have one then its stone cold.

The Price is Right was/is a syndicated Game show on US TV networks

At what price shall we buy or sell a commodity in this case Money is the commodity.

Now we selling and buying money with money itself, the price of money bought and sold is determined by time horizon and something more sinister called the interest rate that rhymes with weight whose unit of measurement is the British Pounds Sterling.

So in ordinary finance textbook Price is a function called V of three variables A, i and n

In Book of Odd, Price is a function called V of fifteen variables called A, i, c, p, h, g_g, a_g, type, n_d, n_db, n_cb, n_iv, n_hv, n_fv and n_pv

V stands for Value

What value then depends on the intent of the user of the function

Its not how you write the function V but its how you Call it in a programming language

As there are 15 variables in V, thus there would be 15! = 1,307,674,368,000 ways of calling V

However from the perspective of time values of money only 1,700 calls are meaningful the rest are all fallacies

The 1,700 values of money are the prices of an asset worth a one dollar or the payment A

Mind you this is one dimensional valuation. In multi-dimensional valuation, the number of functions will be of the order N

1700 * 3^N

Thus second order valuation will have

1700 * 3^2

1700 * 9

15,300 valuations

You get the picture

This was the Volume I of Book of Odd, there were 96 Volumes that were planned for publishing yet the Author gave up after a futile attempt to earn his living by selling Book of Odd

Its not how you write the function V but its how you Call it in a programming language

Here is the programming code for function called V in C#

It is a single line of code that finds 1,700 time values of money (asset prices)

        private double aey(double i, double c)
        {
            if (c==0)
                return (Math.Exp(i)-1);
            return (Math.Pow(1+i*c,1.0/c)-1);
        }

        private double _x(double i, double c, double p) 
        {
		    return Math.Pow(1+aey(i,c),p);	
        }

        private double _xn(double i, double c, double p, double n) 
        {
		    return Math.Pow(_x(i,c,p),n);	
        }

        private double V(double A, double i, double c, double p, double h, double gg, double ag, int type, double nd, double ndb, double ncb, double niv, double nhv, double nfv, double npv, int inf)
        {
            double x, xgg, xh;
            double tilde;
            double xtype, xd, xdb, xcb, xniv, xnhv, xnfv, xnpv, xggnpv;
            double _V, _Va, _Vp;
            x = _x(i,c,p);
            xgg = _x(gg,c,p);
            xh = _x(h,c,p);
            xtype = _xn(i, c, p, (double)type);
            xd = _xn(i, c, p, -Math.Abs(nd));
            xdb = _xn(i, c, p, -Math.Abs(ndb));
            xcb = _xn(i, c, p, ncb);
            xniv = _xn(i, c, p, niv);
            xnhv = _xn(h, c, p, nhv);
            xnfv = _xn(i, c, p, nfv);
            xnpv = _xn(i, c, p, -Math.Abs(npv));
            xggnpv = _xn(gg, c, p, Math.Abs(npv));
            tilde = xtype * xd * xdb * xcb * xniv * xnhv * xnfv;
            _Va = (A * (1.0 - xnpv * xggnpv) / (x - xgg) + ag / (x - xgg) * ((1.0 - xnpv * xggnpv) / (x - xgg) - Math.Abs(npv) * xnpv));
            _Vp = (A / (x - xgg) + ag / Math.Pow((x - xgg),2));
            _V = tilde * (_Va * (1 - inf) + _Vp * (inf) );
            if ((inf == 1) && (nfv == npv))
                return Double.Parse("Infinity");
            return _V;
        }

If you have any Questions, give me a CALL on my number out of those 15! combinations

Hi AbrahamA,

This forum is a place where members can ask questions related to mathematics and participate in math related discussions. Your post seems to be more like a draft of a book that you are going to publish. Therefore I suggest you rather post this in a forum dedicated to book publishers.

I am closing this thread, should you have any questions or comments please send me a private message and I am happy to help.

Thank you.
