For an introduction to using and properly setting up git, see Introduction to git for academics.Students will program and explore all basic techniques in a numerical programming environment and apply these algorithms to real data whenever possible.
#Stochastic methods series#
Topics include a short introduction to the basic notions of financial mathematics, binomial tree models, discrete Brownian paths, stochastic integrals and ODEs, Ito's Lemma, Monte-Carlo methods, finite differences solutions, the Black-Scholes equation, and an introduction to time series analysis, parameter estimation, and calibration. The module is taught as an integrated lecture-lab, where short theoretical units are interspersed with interactive computation and computer experiments. Examples will mostly come from the area of Financial Mathematics, so that this module plays a central role in the education of students interested in Quantitative Finance and Mathematical Economics.


This module is a first hands-on introduction to stochastic modeling. SyllabusĪll the most recent information about class can be found on this website.
