MATH-431: Theory of stochastic calculusIntroduction to the mathematical theory of stochastic calculus: construction of the Ito stochastic integral, proof of the Ito formula, introduction to stochastic differential equations, Girsanov's theorem and the Feynman-Kac formula, the martingale represe ...
COM-417: Advanced probability and applicationsIn this course, various aspects of probability theory are considered. The first part covers the main theorems in the field (law of large numbers, central limit theorem), while the second part focuses on the theory of martingales and concentration inequalit ...
MATH-470: Martingales in financial mathematicsThe aim of the course is to apply the theory of martingales in the context of mathematical finance. The course provides a detailed study of the mathematical ideas that are used in modern financial mathematics. Moreover, the concepts of complete and incompl ...
FIN-415: Probability and stochastic calculusThis course gives an introduction to probability theory and stochastic calculus in discrete and continuous time. The fundamental notions and techniques introduced in this course have many applications in finance, for example for option pricing, risk mana ...
MATH-487: Introduction to multi-scale stochastic dynamicsThis course introduces slow/fast systems and the mathematical tools used to derive effective equations governing their behaviour. Students will learn core concepts and techniques for rigorously analysing complex stochastic multi-scale systems. ...
FIN-404: DerivativesThis course provides a detailed presentation of the standard models for the valuation and hedging of derivatives products such as European options, American options, forward contracts, futures contract and exotic options. ...
MATH-234(b): Probabilités et statistiqueLe cours présente les notions de base de la théorie des probabilités et de l'inférence statistique. L'accent est mis sur les concepts principaux ainsi que les méthodes les plus utilisées. ...
MATH-467: Probabilistic methods in combinatoricsThe 'probabilistic method' is a fundamental tool in combinatorics. The basic idea is as follows: to prove that an object (for example, graph) with certain properties exists, it suffices to prove that if the object is chosen at random, then it has the desir ...
MATH-485: Introduction to stochastic PDEsStochastic PDEs are used to model systems that are spatially extended and include a random component. This course gives an introduction to this topic, including some general measure theory, some Gaussian measure theory and some linear semigroup theory. ...
FIN-609: Asset Pricing (2011 - 2024)This course provides an overview of the theory of asset pricing and portfolio choice theory following historical developments in the field and putting
emphasis on theoretical models that help our understanding of financial decision
making and financial mar ...
