The aim of the course is to provide students with mathematical methods that allow valuating financial assets. Several instructors are Centrale Méditerranée alumni.

This course unit is divided into four parts:

  • Stochastic calculus and introduction to the Black-Scholes model (24 hours) taught by Sébastien Darses.
  • Volatility models (24 hours) taught by Ismaïl Akil.
  • Interest rate models (24 hours) taught by Abderrahim Ben Jazia.
  • Data Project: modeling and validation (20 hours) taught by tba.
  • Understand stochastic calculus and know how to apply its main results
  • Know how to apply stochastic methods to price financial products
  • Understand the mathematical contexts under which the classical financial mathematics models hold
  • Know and understand the relevance and limits of financial mathematics models
  • Understand the impact of volatility on the profit and losses of a hedged position
  • Know how to build numerical methods for pricing financial products
