Abstract:
This paper can be viewed as an introduction to the papers of this issue devoted to some theoretical-probabilistic problems in financial mathematics. In this paper, we describe key structures of finance theory (§ 1), present a brief historical bibliography (§ 2), and consider (§ 3) stochastic models of a stock exchange. In addition, the paper offers an insight into the problems of option pricing (§ 4).
Keywords:
finance theory, financial mathematics, stock exchange models, bond and stock, options, warrants, futures contracts.
