Probability and Stochastics for Finance

Probability and Stochastics for Finance. Instructor: Dr. Joydeep Dutta, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Kanpur. This course provides the minimum mathematical requirements to study mathematical finance or more precisely the pricing of financial derivatives. Topics covered in the lectures include: basic probability, random variables, distribution function and independence, Chebyshev inequality, Borel-Cantelli lemma, law of large numbers and central limit theorem, conditional expectation, martingales, Brownian motion, stochastic integrals, Ito calculus, and stochastic differential equations.

Lecture 20 - Black-Scholes Formula (cont.)

In this lecture we talk about Evolution of Portfolio-Value, then we finally derive Black-Scholes Equation, which is a Partial Differential Equation.
