Contents
We introduce stochastic integration and applications. Different topics cover, for instance, stochastic differential equations, jump processes and applications in financial mathematics.
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- gain insight into the research field of stochastic analysis,
- learn basic structures and techniques of stochastic analysis,
- get to know selected applications of stochastic analysis,
- practice mathematical methods (developing mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof methods),
- practice oral communication skills in the recitation classes by practicing free speech in front of an audience.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Foundations of Mathematics and Linear Algebra I and Linear Algebra II or Basic Linear Algebra, either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis, Probability Theory.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
- B.Sc. Business Mathematics
- M.Sc. Data Science
- M.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Mathematics
- M.Sc. Business Mathematics
- LAaG Mathematics
When studying M.Sc. Business Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization and Practical Modules in Mathematics.
The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).
Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Angewandten Mathematics zugeordnet ist.
