Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student has good knowledge of probability theorry of discrete and continuous random variables. Particular attention is paid to the theory of stochastic processes, both diffusive and with jumps. The student masters the main techniques of stochastic processes applied to finance, such as Ito's lemma, Girsanov theorem and change of measure methods for Lévy processes.
