Quantitative Analysis

Master the math of finance. Learn Stochastic Calculus, Monte Carlo simulations, and Options Pricing models like Black-Scholes.

Quantitative Analysts (Quants) use math to price complex financial derivatives. This advanced course covers the mathematical foundations of modern finance. You will learn Stochastic Calculus (Brownian Motion), the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and how to implement Monte Carlo simulations in Python to price exotic options. We also cover risk metrics like Value at Risk (VaR) and Greeks (Delta, Gamma). This is rigorous math applied to money.
