Course description and aims

This lecture and its sequel ``Advanced topics in analysis H1'' are aimed at those wishing to learn about the basic mathematical concepts of mathematical finance. The following notions, continuous time martingales, Brownian motion, stochastic integral, stochastic differential equations, and the Black-Scholes model are discussed in these two lectures. In this lecture we start from the introduction of stochastic processes, develop the theory of martingales, and introduce the definition of the Brownian motion.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected that they understand the basic notions of continuous time martingales and Brownian motion.
