Alla fine del corso gli studenti devono:
By the end of the course students are expected:
La preparazione degli studenti sarà valutata attraverso un esercizio pratico e domande teoriche.
Academic progress will be monitored and verified from the written paper and the oral test at the beginning of each exam session.
Al termine del corso:
By the end of the course:
Students will have to implement numerical methods for derivative pricing in Matlab. Calibration of these models to market data is also required.
Lo studente potrà acquisire le conoscienze di base del calcolo stocastico che gli consentiranno di sviluppare modelli di pricing e hedging e sarà in grado di calibrare questi modelli utilizzando i dati di mercato.
Students will acquire theoretical knowledge for developing pricing models and will be able to calibrate these models to market data.
L'insegnante valuta le abilità degli studenti attraverso sessioni di lavoro in cui gli studenti sono chiamati ad implementare modelli di pricing in Matlab e a calibrare gli stessi utilizzando i dati di mercato.
The teacher assesses the ability of students by working sessions where students have to implement derivative-pricing models in Matlab and to do calibrations using market data.

Il corso prevede lezioni frontali, in alcuni casi viene utilizzato il computer per:
Active lecture. Personal computers and Matlab are used during the working sessions where students are required to price financial derivatives.
Per preparare l'esame sono sufficienti gli appunti messi a disposizione del docente. Un manuale che copre per intero gli argomenti trattati non esiste. Lo studente che è interessato a letture aggiuntive può considerare uno dei seguenti libri:

Teacher’s notes and exercises.
A single Handbook that covers all the topics of this Course is not available. Here a list of optional readings that partially cover the topics of the Course. I remind that the students have to rely on the Teacher’s notes to prepare the exam.

Non ci sono indicazioni aggiuntive per i non frequentanti.
No addition info for non-attending students.
L'esame consiste in una prova scritta e una prova orale.
The exam is made of one oral test and a written paper. The oral test consists of an interview between the candidate and the lecturer. During the oral test the candidate could be requested to solve written problems/exercises in front of the lecturer or in a separate location.
