Readers learn to build bootstrapped OIS curves, value callable bonds using Hull-White, BDT, and Black-Karasinski models, and price Bermudan swaptions under multi-factor HJM dynamics. High-performance Monte Carlo simulations using Sobol sequences, control variates, and path-dependent exotic pricing are covered in detail. Performance benchmarking is integral throughout, comparing implementations across NumPy, Numba, QuantLib-Python 1.42.. The book includes ready-to-run Jupyter notebooks, and QuantLib-Python builds for immediate execution. Readers also learn to extend QuantLib classes—Payoff, Exercise, PricingEngine—to prototype custom derivatives.
