Simulation and Monte Carlo With applications in finance and MCMC(Wiley Finance)
Hardcover: 349 pages
Publisher: Wiley(2007)
Language: English
Book Description
This book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of Monte Carlo and
Simulation methods. It arises from a 20 hour course given simultaneously to two groups
of students. The first are final year Honours students in the School of Mathematics at the
University of Edinburgh and the second are students from Heriot Watt and Edinburgh
Universities taking the MSc in Financial Mathematics.
The intention is that this be a practical book that encourages readers to write and
experiment with actual simulation models. The choice of programming environment,
Maple, may seem strange, perhaps even perverse. It arises from the fact that at Edinburgh
all mathematics students are conversant with it from year 1. I believe this is true of many
other mathematics departments. The disadvantage of slow numerical processing in Maple
is neutralized by the wide range of probabilistic, statistical, plotting, and list processing
functions available. A large number of specially written Maple procedures are available
on the website accompanying this book (www.wiley.com/go/dagpunar_simulation). They
are also listed in the Appendices.1
