NUMERICAL METHODS FOR PRICING FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

February 7-8, 2002 in Amsterdam


Would you like to visit Amsterdam AND extend your knowledge on the 
numerical capabilities of Mathematica?
This is your opportunity to enter a special course with a visit 
to one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. 

The course is aimed at financial quantitative analysts, developers 
of finance products, risk management and risk controlling consultants 
and IT professionals 


topics
- Monte Carlo simulations of one and multidimensional processes and 
  the pricing of simple, spread and basket options
- Applying and comparing variance reduction techniques for the Monte 
  Carlo simulations
- Monte Carlo simulations of jump processes and the pricing of credit 
  events
- Setting up a parallel computing environment for Monte Carlo 
  simulations
- Implementing and analyzing simple tree valuation routines for the 
  pricing of american and other path dependent options
- Applying variance reduction techniques to the tree valuation routines
- Implementing and analyzing the Hull-White tree valuation method and 
  the pricing of swaptions
- Implementing and analyzing different finite difference methods
- Integration of Mathematica based numerical pricing routines with 
  MS Excel 


you will learn how to
- implement different numerical pricing methods
- improve the speed and accuracy of the numerical methods
- approach, setup and numerical solve complex pricing problems 


Basic knowledge of Mathematica is necessary, basic knowledge of 
finance is helpful. Please contact us for information on introduction 
courses.
