These functions are called stochastic processes and are used to model random phenomena. The course only assumes knowledge of real analysis as pre-requisite. We will discuss in detail the stochastic process called Brownian motion and its properties, and then the construction (derivation) and applications of Ito’s integral. Fundamental theorem of stochastic calculus will also be discussed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
