Aims of the course

The main methods of option pricing for efficient numerical valuation of derivative contracts in a Black-Scholes as well as in incomplete markets due to Levy processes or due to stochastic volatility models with emphasis on PDE-based methods are introduced. Further, implementation of pricing methods in MATLAB is developed.
