Home Course Information Blog Schedule Policies
 

Description

This course continues the discussion of mathematical finance begun in 21-270 Introduction to Mathematical Finance. We will extend the one period binomial model, which was discussed extensively in 21-270, to a multi-period setting.

We will examine the concepts of "arbitrage-free" and "complete" in this new setting. We will introduct the concepts of backward induction and state processes to price derivative securities with this multiperiod binomial model.
