Learning Outcome

The minimal expectation for this course is that students learn about mathematical finance in the context of discrete time and finite state-spaces. It is therefore not required that students be taught about Brownian motion, the Black-Scholes model, etc. For more detailed information visit the Math 435 Wiki page.
