OVERVIEW

The aim of the course is to provide formalization and mathematical modeling of financial transactions. In addition, with reference to random financial transactions, the course provides mathematical models and methods for some life-insurance contracts.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide formalization and mathematical modeling of financial transactions, that is, exchange transactions involving amounts of monetary amounts due at different maturities.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Classes lead the students to the use of the mathematical methods (learned by attending Matematica Generale which is a compulsory class) in finance. Students will learn to:  
- acquire proper knowledge of financial problems and how to solve them by using mathematical methods;

- autonomously evaluate problems and solve them by mathematical tools, varying the application context;

- acquire a proper technical language to manage financial problems

PREREQUISITES

Basis knowledge of mathematics, as acquired by attending (and succesfully passing) the class "Matematica Generale".
