Release Date: 2002-10-04
Given the explosion of interest in mathematical methods for solving problems in finance and trading, a great deal of research and development is taking place in universities, large brokerage firms, and in the supporting trading software industry. Mathematical advances have been made both analytically and numerically in finding practical solutions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of existing and original material, about what mathematics when allied with Mathematica can do for finance. Sophisticated theories are presented systematically in a user-friendly style, and a powerful combination of mathematical rigor and Mathematica programming. Three kinds of solution methods are emphasized: symbolic, numerical, and Monte-- Carlo. Nowadays, only good personal computers are required to handle the symbolic and numerical methods that are developed in this book. Key features: * No previous knowledge of Mathematica programming is required * The symbolic, numeric, data management and graphic capabilities of Mathematica are fully utilized * Monte--Carlo solutions of scalar and multivariable SDEs are developed and utilized heavily in discussing trading issues such as Black--Scholes hedging * Black--Scholes and Dupire PDEs are solved symbolically and numerically * Fast numerical solutions to free boundary problems with details of their Mathematica realizations are provided * Comprehensive study of optimal portfolio diversification, including an original theory of optimal portfolio hedging under non-Log-Normal asset price dynamics is presented The book is designed for the academic community of instructors and students, and most importantly, will meet the everyday trading needs of quantitatively inclined professional and individual investors.

Computational Financial Mathematics using MATHEMATICA®
This second edition presents an applied approach to financial mathematics and provides an overview of existing and original material. Sophisticated theories are presented systematically in a user-friendly style which promotes a powerful combination of mathematical rigor and Mathematica programming. Three kinds of solution methods are emphasized: symbolic, numerical, and Monte--Carlo. This new comprehensive study guide presents several additional financial problems that can be directly applied in the field, i.e., Integral-PDE Dupire equations, inverse problems, 3-D numerical pricing equations, obstacle problems, optimal portfolio problem for momentum markets. The book is intended for instructors and graduate students interested in financial mathematics as well as mathematically inclined investors and traders who rely on cash, stocks, and stock options on a regular basis.
