Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Methods in Finance Special Volume [Hardcover]

Mathematical finance is a prolific scientific domain in which there exists a particular characteristic of developing both advanced theories and practical techniques simultaneously. Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Methods in Finance addresses the three most important aspects in the field: mathematical models, computational methods, and applications, and provides a solid overview of major new ideas and results in the three domains.

• Coverage of all aspects of quantitative finance including models, computational methods and applications
• Provides an overview of new ideas and results
• Contributors are leaders of the field
