Overview

This book puts numerical methods in action for the purpose of solving practical problems arising in quantitative finance. Part one develops a comprehensive toolkit including Monte Carlo simulation, numerical schemes for partial differential equations, stochastic optimization in discrete time, copula functions, Laplace transforms and quadrature methods. Part two proposes eighteen self-contained cases covering model simulation, derivative valuation, dynamic hedging, portfolio selection, risk management, statistical estimation and calibration. It encompasses a wide variety of problems arising in markets for equity, interest rates, credit risk, energy and exotic derivatives.Each case introduces a problem, develops a detailed solution and illustrates empirical results. Proposed algorithms are implemented using either Matlab or Visual Basic. The book originates from class notes and case-studies developed within courses on Numerical Methods for Finance and Exotic Derivatives held by the authors at Bocconi University since the year 2000.
