Sommario/riassunto

This volume contains lectures on quantitative financial analysis in financial markets, delivered at the Seminar in Mathematical Finance at the Courant Institute. The lectures deal with the emerging science of pricing and hedging derivative securities and, more generally, managing financial risk.
