Mathematical finance is an area of applied mathematics where concepts and techniques that lie close to the heart of pure mathematics are applied routinely to solve a great variety of important practical problems arising in the day-to-day business of the world's financial institutions. This course aims to guide candidates through to a mastery of the sophisticated mathematical ideas underlying modern finance theory, along with the associated market structures and conventions, with emphasis on:the modelling of the dynamics of financial assets, both in equity markets and in fixed-income marketsthe pricing and hedging of options and other derivativesthe quantification and management of financial risk. Candidates are also provided with the means to master the numerical and computational skills necessary for the practical implementation of financial models, thus enabling them to put theory into practice and putting them in a good position to carry out work for a financial institution. Within this course, there is also a programme that provides a balanced mixture of advanced mathematics (including modern probability theory and stochastic calculus), modern finance theory (including models for derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange, equities, commodities, and credit), and computational technique (GPU-based high-performance computing).
