Entry knowledge
The knowledge of Calculus and Linear Algebra together with probabilistic and statistical methods (including time series) as well as optimisation techniques within the framework of SOP and SO2 courses is required.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Graded course unit credit is awarded on the basis of a written exam and the discussion in the group of participating students.
Attendance of students is required and checked by students’ activity. Missed lessons are compensated by additional assignments.
Aims
The basic concepts and models of financial problems are accompanied by the theory and simple examples.
The course is designed for students of mathematical engineering and is useful for students of applied sciences. The fundamental knowledge of financial models is presented.
