(1) Numerical Methods for Pricing Financial Derivatives
___________________________________________________
February 14-15, 2007 - EURO 595 (excl. VAT) - Dr. Dimitri Neumann
Apply and implement numerical methods to price financial
derivatives. The rich functionality available within Mathematica
allows to discuss different implementation approaches during the
course and to analyze numerical issues arising from the presented
methods.

(3) Course: Programming with Mathematica
____________________________________________
December 19, 2006 - EURO 250 (excl. VAT) - Prof. Fred Simons
All programming language functionality is available in Mathematica.
Programs written in a standard programming language can be
translated into a Mathematica program. However, this leads rarely to
an efficient program. Often we can improve such a translation by
using some more advanced Mathematica commands. Even better is to
start from the very beginning and to use the structure of the
dataset and the available functions in Mathematica for manipulation
to arrive at the desired output. These principles will be
demonstrated by many examples. Much attention will be paid to the
speed of the programs.

(4) Financial Modeling with Mathematica
___________________________________________________
April 18-19, 2007 - EURO 595,- (excl. VAT) - Dr. Dimitri Neumann
The course pays much attention to frequently occurring practical
tasks such as getting common data structures into Mathematica and
exact day calculations.
