Prerequisites: MA271 or equivalent

This course will focus on computational aspects of the financial market models studied in MA271 and MA373 such as CAPM, binomial models, Black-Scholes-Merton model, interest rate models and asset pricing based on above models. The implementation will be done using MATLAB/C++/R.
