Program

Matlab è un ambiente per il calcolo numerico e l'analisi statistica che include anche l’omonimo linguaggio di programmazione. Matlab consente di manipolare matrici, visualizzare funzioni e dati, implementare algoritmi, creare interfacce utente, e interfacciarsi con altri programmi. Nonostante sia specializzato nel calcolo numerico, è possibile interfacciare Matlab con il motore di calcolo simbolico di Maple. Matlab è ampiamente utilizzato nell'industria e in ambito accademico. I suoi numerosi strumenti trovano applicazione nei più disparati campi di studio, in particolare in finanza e in ambito assicurativo.

Il programma del corso prevede alcune lezioni di introduzione alla sintassi di Matlab e al suo linguaggio di programmazione. Verranno quindi presentare alcune applicazioni economico-finanziarie, quali il pricing di strumenti finanziari e la costruzione di modelli per il risk-management. Il principale obiettivo dell’attività è quello di introdurre i partecipanti ad un software ampiamente utilizzato nel mondo finanziario e assicurativo, nonché in molti altri ambiti di interesse lavorativo.
