Learning objectives

The course aims at analyzing the main numerical methods for derivative pricing and risk managment, in particular: - tree methods; - finite differences methods (implicit, explicit, Crank-Nicholson) - Monte Carlo methods. At the end of the course, tudents are able to efficiently implement the previous methods, by using Matlab. Although no formal prerequisites is needed, the knowledge of the topics related to Stochastic Models for Finance and Mathematical Finance is strongly recommended.
