Written for students and engineers in the fields of economics and finance, this book explains the fundamentals of Monte Carlo simulation techniques, their use in the numerical resolution of stochastic differential equations, and their current applications in finance. Building on an integrated approach, it provides a pedagogical treatment of the need-to-know materials in risk management and financial engineering. Topics covered include an introduction to probability and random variables, random sequences, foundations of Monte Carlo simulations, and credit risk and the valuation of corporate securities. (This book is also available in French.)

MATLAB is used throughout the book to solve many real-world application examples. In addition, a supplemental set of MATLAB M-files is available on a CD bound in the book.
