Book Description

This book provides technical support for students in finance. It reviews the main probabilistic tools used in financial models in a pedagogical way, starting from simple concepts like random variables and tribes and going to more sophisticated ones like conditional expectations and limit theorems. Many illustrations are given, taken from the financial literature. The book is also a prerequisite for Stochastic Processes for Finance published in the same collection.

• A strong philosophical approach with practical applications.
• Presents in-depth coverage of classical probability theory as well as new theory.

• Numerical Methods for Finance (Robert Nurnberg)

  This book explores new and relevant numerical methods for the solution of practical problems in finance. It is one of the few books entirely devoted to numerical methods as applied to the financial field.

• Stochastic Calculus and Finance (Steven E. Shreve)

  The book gives both precise statements of results, plausibility arguments, and even some proofs, but more importantly intuitive explanations developed and refine through classroom experience with this material are provided.

• Analysis and Linear Algebra for Finance (Patrick Roger)

  This book presents the elements of analysis and linear algebra used in financial models and in microeconomics. Functions of one and several variables and matrices are developed as well as vector spaces, linear mappings and optimization methods, etc.

• Stochastic Processes for Finance (Patrick Roger)

  It describes the most important stochastic processes used in finance in a pedagogical way, especially Markov chains, Brownian motion and martingales. It also shows how mathematical tools like filtrations, Ito's lemma or Girsanov theorem should be understood in the framework of financial models.

• Mathematics of Economics and Business (Frank Werner, et al.)

  For all students who wish to understand current economic and business literature, knowledge of mathematical methods has become a prerequisite. Clear and concise, with precise definitions and theorems, this book covers all the major topics required.

• Mathematics for Finance: An Introduction to Financial Engineering

  This book is an excellent introduction to Mathematical Finance. Armed with a knowledge of basic calculus and probability a student can use this book to learn about derivatives, interest rates and their term structure and portfolio management.
