Legend | Type of training activity (TTA)
TAF (Type of Educational Activity) All courses and activities are classified into different types of educational activities, indicated by a letter.
Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.
2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA
Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: richiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Competenze trasversali
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.
4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio
Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage.

Learning objectives
The aim of the first smaller part of the course is to present some tools and topics of classical financial mathematics (compounding regimes, mortgages, bonds). The second larger part of the lecture provides an in-depth introduction to modern financial mathematics and stochastic methods in discrete time (stochastic processes and martingales in discrete time) that are useful in view of more advanced lectures on the topic. Students will have the opportunity to learn the terminology and the concepts that are useful for the understanding and use the techniques of classical and modern mathematical finance. The lecture provides important examples of applications of concepts from the lectures on probability.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability. Extra notions on probability will be provided.
Program
Part 1: classical financial mathematics - Main Reference: Scandolo
1) Basic financial operations, simple interest, interest in advance, compounding of interest, exponential regime.
2) Annuities and amortization: non-elementary investment and financing, annuities with constant rates, annuities with installments following a geometric progression, amortization, common amortization clauses, amortization with viariable interest rate.
3) Choice without uncertainty: return for elementary and generic investment, choice criteria for investment and financing operations.
4) Bonds: classification, zero coupon bonds, fixed coupon bonds. Term structure: yield curve, complete and incomplete markets.
5) Immunization: Maculay’s duration and convexity, immunized portfolios.
Part 2: mathematical finance in the presence of uncertainty - Main references: Föllmer Schied and Pascucci Runggaldier.
6) Probability theory refresher: probability spaces, independence, Radon-Nikodym theorem, expectation, conditional expectation, martingales, convergence of random variables.
7) Arbitrage theory in one period: foundations and fundamental theorem of asset pricing, contingnt claimds, market completeness.
8) Arbitrage theory in multiperiod models: fundamental on multiperiod models, absence of arbitrage, European contingent claims, binomial model (Cox-Ross Rubinstein).
9) American contingent claims: foundataions, valuation and hedging, arbitrage free prices and replicability in general markets.
Time permitting: Preferences and risk aversion: expected utility criterion (St. Petersburgh paradox), von Neumann Morgenstern axioms, stochastic dominance, mean variance criterion and static portfolio optimization, CAPM.
