Abstract

These are the lecture notes for an advanced Ph.D. level course I taught in Spring ‘02 at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook. The cou

Keywords: Stochastic Processes, Financial Mathematics, Brownian Motion, Derivatives Pricing, Derivatives

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 9.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10
• Quadrant: Lab Rats
• Why: The paper is a PhD-level lecture on advanced stochastic calculus and derivative pricing, heavily featuring formal mathematical derivations and physics-inspired path integral methods, but contains no empirical data, backtests, or implementation details.
