Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the 3 cr. version of course, the student understands the purpose, basic properties, and use of derivatives, mathematical theory of options and other derivatives familiar on how models are implemented, how they are used in practice, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of different models.
Additionally, after the 5 cr. version of the course, the student knows how to apply tools from engineering mathematics and computational methods to analyse market data.
