Target Audience: Undergraduate with basic quantitative background who is interested in financial mathematics
Abstract: Financial Mathematics has taken the world by storm since its inception during the 80s. In light of the recent financial crisis, the purpose of this talk is to unveil financial mathematics, divulging vital information such as its theoretical foundation, industrial practice, research frontier, etc. Most importantly, where does the "model world" and "reality" meet? What kind of compromise can bring these two together while (hopefully) not sacrificing too much reliability.
