Stochastic differential equations and probabilistic numerical methods
Goals
This course deals with modelisation using time continous processes. The goal is to present both theoritical and pratical aspects on stochastic differentiale equations. The second part deals with numerical method to simulate stochastic processes. It is more specifically for students of Mathematic, Actuarial and quantitative finance options and Masters. It is requiered to have followed a course on theory of probability (for example the course in S8 in Ecole Centrale de Lyon)
