Goal(s)

The goal of this course is to present the concepts of pricing and hedging products in continuous time. At the end of the lecture, students will know how to handle vanilla options in the one dimensional Black Scholes model. In particular they shall master the following notions :
Brownian Motion;
Continuous time martingale;
Wienner's and Itô's Integral;
Itô's formulas.
