Students are supposed to be acquainted with basics of probability theory and stochastic analysis on the level of Lecture NMFM 408 (or a similar lecture). In the present lecture the knowledge of basic tools of stochastic analysis will be extended, taking into account the usual tools used in continuous modelling in finance mathematics - e.g. the Ito formula, Girsanov Theorem and Representation Theorems for continuous martingales. Applications to interest rate models, risk neutral measures and option pricing. Arbitrage. Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing. Black-Scholes model. Hedging.
Aim of the course -
Last update: T_KPMS (11.05.2015)

The subject is aimed at advanced methods of stochastic analysis and fundamental models of finance mathematics where these methods are exploited (option pricing, hedging, etc.)
