Many students, academics and practitioners have warmly congratulated professors Huynh, HT, VS Lai and I. Soumaré (HLS) of Laval University, co-authors of the book “Stochastic Simulation and Applications in Finance with MATLAB Programs” (Wiley) since its publication. Other renowned faculty members have adopted this book as the basic text for their courses, quoting HLS in their course syllabus, e.g., S. Rachev, http://www.ams.sunysb.edu/~rachev/

Recently, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) has included  HLS in the list of compulsory books required for obtaining the prestigious title of FSA (Fellow of the Society of Actuaries) exams.
