Mathemathics for finance

an introduction to financial engineering

Designed to form the basis of an undergraduate course in mathematical finance, this book builds on mathematical models of bond and stock prices and covers three major areas of mathematical finance that all have an enormous impact on the way modern financial markets operate, namely ...

Dynamics stochastic optimization

This volume considers optimal stochastic decision processes from the viewpoint of stochastic programming. It focuses on theoretical properties and on approximate or numerical solution techniques for time-dependent optimization problems with random parameters (multistage stochastic programs, optimal stochastic decision processes). Methods for finding approximate solutions of ...

Vector optimization

theory,applications,and extensions

This book presents fundamentals and important results of vector optimization in a general setting. The theory developed includes scalarization, existence theorems, a generalized Lagrange multiplier rule and duality results. Applications to vector approximation, cooperative game theory and multiobjective optimization are described. The theory is extended ...

Unsolved problems in mathematical systems and control theory

This book provides clear presentations of more than sixty important unsolved problems in mathematical systems and control theory. Each of the problems included here is proposed by a leading expert and set forth in an accessible manner. Covering a wide range of areas, the book ...

Putting auction theory to work

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern auction theory and its important new applications. It is written by a leading economic theorist whose suggestions guided the creation of the new spectrum auction designs. Aimed at graduate students and professionals in economics, the book gives ...

Stochastic optimization in continuous time

Most of the current books on stochastic control theory are written for students in mathematics or finance. This introduction is designed, however, for those interested in the relevance and applications of the theory's mathematical principles to economics. Therefore, mathematical methods are discussed intuitively and ...

Risk and financial management

mathematical and computational methods

Financial risk management has become a popular practice amongst financial institutions to protect against the adverse effects of uncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. New financial instruments and mathematical techniques are continuously developed and introduced in financial ...

Levy processes in finance

pricing financial derivatives

Financial mathematics has recently enjoyed considerable interest on account of its impact on the finance industry. In parallel, the theory of Lévy processes has also seen many exciting developments. These powerful modelling tools allow the user to model more complex phenomena, and are commonly applied ...

Economics as an agent-based complex system

toward agent-based social systems sciences

In agent-based modeling the focus is very much on agent-based simulation, as simulation is a very important tool for agent-based modeling. We also use agent-based simulation in this book with a stress on the mathematical foundation of agent-based modeling. We introduce two original mathematical frameworks ...

Un matemático invierte en bolsa

John Allen Paulos sintió a finales de los años noventa, en pleno auge de las empresas «punto com», la irresistible atracción del mundo de la Bolsa. Invirtió dinero, especuló con acciones, se arriesgó cada vez más y... ¡perdió!, tal vez al igual que muchos de ...

Math through the ages

a gentle history for teachers and others

Where did math come from? Who thought up all those algebra symbols? Who came up with the symbols for arithmetic? What's the story behind the metric system, Euclidean geometry, or complex numbers? What is it all for, anyway? Such questions come up naturally when ...

Optimización inteligente

técnicas de Inteligencia Computacional para optimización

El libro aborda la temática conocida como Inteligencia computacional (Soft Computing) en su aplicación al campo de la Optimización.

Modeling aggregate behavior and fluctuations in economics

stochastic views of interacting agents

This book has two components: stochastic dynamics and stochastic random combinatorial analysis. The first discusses evolving patterns of interactions of a large but finite number of agents of several types. Changes of agent types or their choices or decisions over time are formulated as jump ...

Financial markets and martingales

observations on science and speculation

Starting with games of chance, from which probability theory was born, Nicolas Bouleau explains how the financial markets operate, and demonstrates how the application of mathematics has turned finance into a high-tech business, as well as a formidable and efficient tool. The human side of ...
