This course gives an introduction to Brownian motion and stochastic calculus. It includes the construction and properties of Brownian motion, basics of Markov processes in continuous time and of Levy processes, and stochastic calculus for continuous semimartingales.

This course covers some basic objects of stochastic analysis. In particular, the following topics are discussed: construction and properties of Brownian motion, stochastic integration, Ito's formula and applications, stochastic differential equations and connection with partial differential equations.

Introduction to principal methods of option pricing. Emphasis on PDE-based methods. Prerequisite MATLAB and Python programmingand knowledge of numerical mathematics at ETH BSc level.

Introductory course on mathematics for investment, hedging, portfolio management, asset pricing and financial derivatives in discrete-time financial markets. Topics: arbitrage, completeness, risk-neutral pricing, utility maximisation, and maybe others. Fundamental theorem of asset pricing, hedging duality theorems in discrete time, convex duality in utility maximisation.
