"These lectures were given at the "Academie des Science" in Paris by experts in mathematical finance, and later written up for this volume which develops topics such as risk measures, the notion of arbitrage, dynamic models involving fundamental stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Levy processes."--Jacket.
