This Master course gives an introduction to financial mathematics in continuous time. Starting with the famous Black-Scholes Model the basic principles for pricing derivatives in financial markets are explained. After introducing resp. repeating some basic knowledge of stochastic analysis a detailed investigation of models driven by a Wiener-process is provided. The therefore needed concepts of no arbitrage, hedging, equivalent martingale measure etc. will be thoroughly introduced and applied to pricing of options and other derivatives. A further main topic is the modelling of Bond markets and the pricing of fixed income securities. Short-rate models as the Vasicek-, CIR and Hull White model together with Libor Market models are presented and analysed.
