LernzielAdvanced level introduction to mathematical finance, presupposing knowledge in probability theory and stochastic processes
InhaltThis is an advanced level introduction to mathematical finance for students with a good background in probability. We want to give an overview of main concepts, questions and approaches, and we do this in both discrete- and continuous-time models. Topics include absence of arbitrage and martingale measures, option pricing and hedging, optimal investment problems, and probably others.
