Synopsis
Developed from the author's course on Monte Carlo simulation at Brown University, Monte Carlo Simulation with Applications to Finance provides a self-contained introduction to Monte Carlo methods in financial engineering. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking a one-semester course or for practitioners in the financial industry. The author first presents the necessary mathematical tools for simulation, arbitrary free option pricing, and the basic implementation of Monte Carlo schemes. He then describes variance reduction techniques, including control variates, stratification, conditioning, importance sampling, and cross-entropy. The text concludes with stochastic calculus and the simulation of diffusion processes. Only requiring some familiarity with probability and statistics, the book keeps much of the mathematics at an informal level and avoids technical measure-theoretic jargon to provide a practical understanding of the basics. It includes a large number of examples as well as MATLAB® coding exercises that are designed in a progressive manner so that no prior experience with MATLAB is needed., Developed from the author's course on Monte Carlo simulation at Brown University, this text provides a self-contained introduction to Monte Carlo methods in financial engineering. It covers common variance reduction techniques, the cross-entropy method, and the simulation of diffusion process models. Requiring minimal background in mathematics and finance, the book includes numerous examples of option pricing, risk analysis, and sensitivity analysis as well as many hand-and-paper and MATLAB® coding exercises at the end of every chapter., Developed from the author's course on Monte Carlo simulation at Brown University, Monte Carlo Simulation with Applications to Finance provides a self-contained introduction to Monte Carlo methods in financial engineering.

    I RECEIVED THE DVD AND IT WAS AS STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION. IT WAS OF HIGH QUALITY, GOOD CONDITION. THEY KEPT THE COST OF SHIPPING DOWN AND MADE SURE THE PACKING WAS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE ITENS SAFE AND SECURE. THE VALUE WAS GREAT. THE APPEARANCE WAS AS GOOD AS IT WAS DISCRIPTION - VERY NICE WOULD KEEP IT FROM GETTING DAMAGED. I WILL SHOP WITH THIS SELLER AGAIN. A+++++++++++

    Got a good deal on a rare Elvis Presley EP, good service, and fast shipping. The 2 of the record’s corners had creases in them , but the seller gave me a partial refund when I contacted them about it. I highly recommend this seller and would gladly buy from them again if I ever get the chance!
