These applications have  in turn  stimulated research into new Monte Carlo methods and renewed interest in some older techniques. This book develops the use of Monte Carlo methods in finance and it also uses simulation as a vehicle for presenting models and ideas from financial engineering. It divides roughly into three parts. The first part develops the fundamentals of Monte Carlo methods  the foundations of derivatives pricing  and the implementation of several of the most important models used in financial engineering. The next part describes techniques for improving simulation accuracy and efficiency. The final third of the book addresses special topics: estimating price sensitivities  valuing American options  and measuring market risk and credit risk in financial portfolios. The most important prerequisite is familiarity with the mathematical tools used to specify and analyze continuous-time models in finance  in particular the key ideas of stochastic calculus. Prior exposure to the basic principles of option pricing is useful but not essential. The book is aimed at graduate students in financial engineering  researchers in Monte Carlo simulation  and practitioners implementing models in industry. Mathematical Reviews  2004: \"... this book is very comprehensive  up-to-date and useful tool for those who are interested in implementing Monte Carlo methods in a financial context.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652059848757,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387004513","price":59.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387004518.jpg?v=1781848926","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/monte-carlo-methods-in-financial-engineering-stochastic-modelling-and-applied-probability-53-9780387004518","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
