Course Objectives | To familiarize students both with the concepts underlying the economic analysis of engineering projects, as well as with the type of mathematical derivations needed in the analysis. |
Learning Outcomes | The students who succeeded in this course;
|
Course Description | Students will learn to make decisions by taking into account such features as interest rates, and rates of return. They will learn about the concept of arbitrage, and when consideration of such is sufficient to price different investments. Applications to call and put options will be given. Students will learn when arbitrage arguments are not sufficient to evaluate investment opportunities. They will learn to make use of utility theory and mathematical optimization models to determine optimal decisions. Dynamic programming will be introduced and used to solve sequential optimization problems. The use of simulation in financial engineering will be explored. |
