Image Salih Neftci– Any student in the quant world would have come across this professor while reading either of his wonderful books on option pricing. He was a very popular professor in the NYC area and more so at CUNY. Some of my friends who attended his classes were all gaga about the way he brought things to perspective.

Came to know from my director that Prof Neftci passed away last night in Switzerland, after a one-year battle with cancer. Student community will miss him dearly.
