Description for Simulation and Monte Carlo: With Applications in Finance and MCMC
Hardcover. This book provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to simulation methods, and features examples and applications using Maple. Maple is widely used at undergraduate mathematics level in the UK, US and Europe. It is readily available to students, researchers and practitioners, and the code is easily transferrable into other languages. Num Pages: 348 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 248 x 174 x 25. Weight in Grams: 806.
Simulation and Monte Carlo is aimed at students studying for degrees in Mathematics, Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Operational Research, Computer Science, and allied subjects, who wish an up-to-date account of the theory and practice of Simulation. Its distinguishing features are in-depth accounts of the theory of Simulation, including the important topic of variance reduction techniques, together with illustrative applications in Financial Mathematics, Markov chain Monte Carlo, and Discrete Event Simulation.
