I am taking a class on mathematical finance (Discrete Time Models in Financial Math). However, the textbook for the class is very brief and barely explains any concepts. What is the best Mathematical finance book I can buy which covers forwards, futures and options, interest rates, managing risk using hedging, binomial and multiple period trees, bond models, numerial methods to price options.

OR are all books on these topics not good? I need a book that explains stuff instead of just stating formulas and stuff.

If there was one book or a few books about personal finance such as “Rich Dad, poor dad” and “Think and grow rich” that really changed your life into understanding money and investing what are they ?
I mean if there was a book that really explained stuff and made it clear about investing and having money work for you, what would it be ?
