We will obtain insight into the mathematical structure of financial products such as futures, options and other derivatives. We will both deal with the discrete (Cox, Ross and Rubenstein) and continuous models (Black and Scholes). We will also treat popular risk models such as value at risk (VaR) as well as time series models such as GARCH. Special attention will be given to the role of volatility in financial processes. The course is both theoretical and practical and aims to give a broad view of the field of financial mathematics.

Bingham and Kiesel, 'Risk Neutral Valuation'
The theory is explained at the plenary sessions. Here the structure of the theory is revealed and it is shown what the underlying ideas are. During the practical classes the assignments will be discussed and students will be helped with completing their homework.
