The course aims to introduce the Monte Carlo methods and techniques used in mathematical finance. In this field, many problems involve computing expectations. Pricing various derivatives, computing default/ruin probabilities, finding optimal/well-performing portfolios are some well-known examples of such problems. In the course, after discussing the basics of probability and simulation, we learn how Monte Carlo methods apply to these problems.
