Course description and aims

In this lecture, the topics discussed in ``Advanced topics in analysis G'' are developed in continuous time models.

The following notions such as various European type options, American options, bonds and their term structures are discussed. As Ito calculus and stochastic differential equations are essential to the continuous time theory of mathematical finance, we prepare these mathematical notions first.

Student learning outcomes

Understanding the following notions:
Ito calculus and basic knowledge of stochastic differential equations, european and american option pricing, Ito formula for the most general form, basics of interest rate term structure theory.

Keywords

Ito calculus, stochastic differential equation, option pricing, interest rate term structure

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
