Course description and aims

This lecture and its sequel ``Advanced topics in analysis H'' are aimed at those wishing to learn about both the basic mathematical concepts and the overall picture of mathematical finance.

First, we begin from the single and multi-term binomial setting. The following notions, arbitrage pricing, martingale measures, the 1st fundamental theorem, and complete markets are discussed in the setting. Martingales in the discrete time setting play an essential role.

Student learning outcomes

Understanding the important notion and ideas of option pricing theory in discrete time models.
Supplies the basis for the sequel ``Advanced topics in analysis H''.

Keywords
