Probability theory in finance

By: Dineen, SeanMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: AMS 2011ISBN: 9780821868812DDC classification: HF5691
Contents:
Chapter 1. Money and markets Chapter 2. Fair games Chapter 3. Set theory Chapter 4. Measurable functions Chapter 5. Probability spaces Chapter 6. Expected values Chapter 7. Continuity and integrability Chapter 8. Conditional expectation Chapter 9. Lebesgue measure Chapter 10. Martingales Chapter 11. The Black-Scholes formula Chapter 12. Stochastic integration Solutions
Summary: The book skillfully draws the reader toward the art of thinking mathematically and then proceeds to lay the foundations in analysis and probability theory underlying modern financial mathematics. It rigorously reveals the mathematical secrets of topics such as abstract measure theory, conditional expectations, martingales, Wiener processes, the It calculus, and other ingredients of the Black-Scholes formula. In explaining these topics, the author uses examples drawn from the universe of finance. The book also contains many exercises, some included to clarify simple points of exposition, others to introduce new ideas and techniques, and a few containing relatively deep mathematical results.
