Mathematical modelling applications to finance
The semester in Nice (UNS) will focus on "Mathematical Modelling Applications to Finance". Given the economic and social landscape, it aims to train engineers provided with a double strong ability, in both rigorous mathematics and tools from the specific application field, together with a deep experience in informatics. Precisely, students will be supplied with a strong theoretical and numerical mathematical and computational background as used in banks and insurance companies and will be given a solid knowledge in financial analysis including a specific course about the related stakes and rules that have emerged since the financial crisis. In particular, major objectives of the master are to train highly qualified engineers able both to apply sophisticated mathematical tools to describe, analyze and simulate complex systems such as trading markets and to keep thinking their activity as connected with real economy. Most of the lectures will be given within the framework of the Master's programme "Mathematics and Interaction" that will start in next September in Nice. Indeed, a branch of this new programme will consist of a continuation of the older Master's programme "Engineering Mathematics in Economy and Actuarial Sciences", referred to as IMEA in the French denomination. In addition to the academic courses, workshops will be organized in collaboration with professionals lecturers from local or national companies or researchers from the Economy Department or from other institutions such as INRIA. Public research institutions and private industrial groups are the principal employers for engineers issued from this track, including banks, universities, companies specialized in simulation and consulting from any industrial field, etc...
