Abstract

Stochastic calculus is used in financial engineering. The minimum of required math will be covered: sigma-algebras, conditional expectations, martingales, Wiener process, stochastic integration. The big problem is that stochastic calculus is very hard from a mathematical viewpoint. We will formulate all the required theorems mostly without proofs.
