This course covers the basic mathematical theory of modeling and pricing financial instruments in continuous time. We focus on the modeling of stock prices and pricing of stock options in the Black Scholes model, which is based on geometric Brownian motion. The course also includes interest rate theory and the pricing of various fixed income instruments.
The course requires 90 ECTS including a course in Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations and a basic course in Mathematical Statistics, minimum 6 ECTS. Proficiency in English equivalent to Swedish upper secondary course English 5/A. Where the language of instruction is Swedish, applicants must prove proficiency in Swedish to the level required for basic eligibility for higher studies.
