Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The aim of classes is to acquire basic knowledge and skills about mathematical models. 
Class Schedule In the lectures, we will study mathematical finance and modern probability theory in parallel. That is, while covering topics in mathematical finance, we will simultaneously learn the fundamental concepts of probability theory that are necessary for understanding them. The mathematical models of finance discussed here correspond to probability models with only a finite number of possible outcomes. As a result, when developing the theory, we can rely solely on basic arithmetic operations without the need for integration, making the course formally accessible without requiring prior knowledge.
In the probability theory part of the lectures, conditional expectation plays a particularly important role. On the other hand, in the mathematical finance part, key concepts include replicating strategies, equivalent martingale measures, and arbitrage-free pricing.
