The book is conceived as a guide to solve exercises in Mathematical Finance and a complement to theoretical lectures. The potential audience consists of students in Applied Mathematics, Engineering and Economics, attending courses in Mathematical Finance. The most important subjects covered by this textbook are Pricing and Hedging of different classes of financial derivatives (European, American Exotic options, Fixed Income derivatives) in the most popular modeling frameworks, both in discrete and continuous time setting, like the Binomial and the Black-Scholes models. A Chapter on static portfolio optimization, one on pricing for more advanced models and one on Risk Measures complete the overview on the main issues presented in classical courses on Mathematical Finance. About one hundred exercises are proposed, and a large amount of them provides a detailed solution, while a few are left as an exercise to the reader. Every chapter includes a brief resume of the main theoretical results to apply. This textbook is the result of several years of teaching experience of both the authors.

The book collects over 120 exercises on different subjects of Mathematical Finance, including Option Pricing, Risk Theory, and Interest Rate Models. Many of the exercises are solved, while others are only proposed. Every chapter contains an introductory section illustrating the main theoretical results necessary to solve the exercises. The book isintended as an exercise textbook to accompany graduate courses in mathematical finance offered at many universities as part of degree programs in Applied and Industrial Mathematics, Mathematical Engineering, and Quantitative Finance.

Questa è una raccolta di esercizi che illustra alcuni aspetti fondamentali della Finanza Matematica, in particolare della valutazione dei derivati. E’ rivolta a studenti dei corsi di Laurea Magistrale, ma può essere utilizzata con successo anche nei corsi di Laurea del primo livello, da studenti che abbiano una adeguata formazione di tipo matematico (Corsi di Laurea in Matematica, Ingegneria). La risoluzione degli esercizi viene affrontata con l’utilizzo di metodi propri sia della Teoria della Probabilità (processi stocastici) che dell’Analisi Matematica (Equazioni alle Derivate Parziali).
