SCS Colloquium: Challenges in Computational Finance
C1.112, 1098 XH, Amsterdam
Speaker: Drona Kandhai Abstract: Many models used in finance end up in formulation of highly mathematical problems. Solving these equations exactly in closed form is impossible as the experience in other fields suggests. Therefore, one has to look for efficient numerical algorithms in solving complex problems such as option pricing, risk analysis, portfolio management, etc. Computational finance, generally referring to the application of computational techniques to finance, has become an integral part of modeling, analysis, and decision-making in the financial industry. In this talk I will give an overview of the role of modeling and computation in the financial derivatives world. After a quick introduction of the banking business, I will introduce derivatives and their pricing, and summarize the mathematical modeling and computational challenges in this field. In particular I will focus on how the recent credit crisis has impacted this.
