Elective courses for 2nd stage studies in Mathematics
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Prerequisites:

Probability theory II 1000-115aRP2a

Prerequisites (description):

The student should have approved Probability Theory II. Knowledge of martingale theory in discrete time is essential.

Introduction to Stochastic Analysis is recommended.

Short description:

During this course we describe and solve problems related to the modelling of financial markets and to the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives.

Full description:

Description of financial market, options, forward and futures contract, portfolio, arbitrage, replication, valuation.

The finite market (discrete time market). Self-financing portfolio, contingent claims, arbitrage, replication, valuation. Martingale pricing. Completeness. The fundamental theorems. American options. Binomial model. Incomplete markets. Futures.

Continuous time market. Black-Scholes model. Pricing of contingent claims, forward, futures contracts and exotic options.

Learning outcomes:

Student

- knows the basics of stochastic modeling of financial markets

- knows the basic theorems of financial mathematics allowing to investigate the existence of arbitrage and the completeness of the market

- knows various methods of valuation of derivatives

- knows the methods of valuation of basic derivative instruments on the Blacka-Scholesa market

Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

The assessment criteria are specified in the description of the cycle.
