The book begins by giving a very quick overview of derivatives pricing, stochastic vol models, risk neutral pricing and ends the first chapter by giving couple of motivating examples where loosely coupled joined distributions given marginals , are used to price options .

Hence one needs to be aware about the nature of the function and also its limitations.
