As well-known, the more experience we have with mathematical skills (especially real analysis and probability), the more piece we can get. Nevertheless, the course will move quickly and students can expect to acquire tools that are deep enough and rich enough to be relied upon throughout their professional careers. Course Plan: The course begins with basic concepts and theory of probability space, needed in this lecture. This material is used to motivate the theory of continuous time stochastic processes, especially Brownian motion. The construction of Brownian motion is given in detail, and enough material on the subtle properties of Brownian paths is developed so that the student should evolve a good sense of when intuition can be trusted and when it cannot. The course then takes up the Itô integral and aims to provide a development that is honest and complete without being pedantic. With the Itô integral in hand, the course focuses more on models. Stochastic processes of importance in Finance and Economics are developed in concert with the tool. The financial notion of replication is developed, and the Black-Scholes PDE will be introduced with its importance. At the last part of this course, we introduce enough of the theory of the diffusion equation to be able to solve the Black-Scholes PDE and prove the uniqueness of the solution. Besides the theoretical lectures introduced, some computer algrba systems (CAS) will be introduced too, including Maxima, Axiom and Python language, especially visual module. Maxima and Axiom are used to solve general classical mathematical problems, differentiation, integration,function plotting, ODE solver etc. Python will be used to simulate the paths of the Brownian motion partical in 2D plane and plot the data of simulayion for Langevin equation. Also a symbolic SDE’s solver of Axiom [14] will be introduced. Since codes will be embedded into the documentation directly by the session functionality, welcome to test the code by changing the parameters and share your results!
