The author presents the theories of stochastic processes and stochastic calculus and provides the necessary tools for modeling and pricing in finance and insurance. Practical in focus, the book's emphasis is on application, intuition, and computation, rather than theory.Consequently, the text is of interest to graduate 410 0$aWiley series in probability and statistics. 606 $aFinance$xMathematical models 606 $aInsurance$xMathematical models 606 $aStochastic analysis 615 0$aFinance$xMathematical models. 615 0$aInsurance$xMathematical models. 615 0$aStochastic analysis. 676 $a332.01/51923 700 $aLin$b X.
