Abstract

The first aim of the project is to familiarize the student with the use of stochastic differential equation and their applications in derivative pricing. The second objective is to study the use of simulation for pricing options. In addition, initially the student should familiarize himself with the financial market and the main types of transactions that occur in it, with special attention to derivatives and options.
