I recommend undergraduate student3
I'm graduate student now.I looked for the book to read more mathmatically ones.This book is very cleary, plain. You can read without knowledge of math and probability.So he explain wide area.

But is not suitable for me. Because of too easy! For finance with mathematics, I recommend [An introduction to the mathematics of financial derivatives:S.N.Neftci ].

Then if you haven't ever read the book of this field,this book is good for you!
