OPR 350 Optimization in Finance 4.0 Credits

Quantitative finance can be grouped into the following categories: (1) valuation of financial instruments by the use of risk-neutral probability distributions; (2) financial planning using real-life probability distributions. This course focuses on financial planning. There are two key ideas: the first is to model decision making and planning as a mathematical optimization problem with variables, an objective function, and constraints. The second is to model uncertainty using the tools of probability theory. This is an introductory course: we focus on building models and use standard spreadsheet software to find solutions.
