摘要

In this chapter, we will give some background on mathematical finance, or, to be precise, on the mathematical theory that lies behind derivative pricing. Since the 1980s, financial mathematics has become a huge field of applied mathematics that uses methods from many other branches of mathematics, most notably from probability theory. The reliance on probability theory provides us with a wealth of applications for simulation techniques.
