Mathematics — Analysis and Differential Geometry

The master's program contains mainly specialized courses in direction finance, including two advanced courses at HandelshØ?gskolen, BFE. The course MAT-2202 Optimization Models focuses at modeling of problems in economics and finance, while the course MAT-3212 Stochastic Differential Equations is a course in advanced stochastic modeling of financial time series. Apart from this one gives a course in theoretical statistics (STA-2002) and a course in mathematics dealing with linear partial differential equations (MAT-3200), including Fokker-Plank (Black-Scholes) equations and their applications in finance. Also included is a 10 ECTS course where one can choose between advanced courses in statistics or a course in macroeconomics or other courses. The last part of the master study is a half a year??s work with a master thesis. Here the students improve their competence through work with research or development projects involving usage of mathematics and statistics within issues from economic or political science. In the third semester the master thesis is prepared, either through a project thesis (MAT-3230) of size 10 ECTS at Department of mathematics and statistics, or through a correspondingly advanced course at HandelshØ?gskolen, i.e. SOK-3050 Advanced topics in economics.

Admission to the programme in Mathematics and Finance - master requires a Bachelor`s degree (180 ECTS) in Mathematics and Finance or equivalent qualification. The education must contain a specialization i mathematics and statistics corresponding to at least 80 ECTS. In addition, exams in basic issues within economics are required.
