The Mathematical Methods for Quantitative Finance course reviews the mathematical methods fundamental for the study of quantitative and computational finance. The areas of focus include calculus and multivariable calculus, constrained and unconstrained optimization, and linear algebra.

Topics covered include the following:

Functions and inverse functions
Limits, derivatives, partial derivatives, and chain rule
Integrals and multiple integrals, changing the order of differentiation and integration
Taylor series approximations
Newton’s method
Lagrange multiplier method
Vector and matrix arithmetic, determinants, eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition, singular value decomposition
Numerical methods for optimization

Course goal:
Upon completion of the course students will know the fundamental mathematical concepts needed to effectively study quantitative finance areas such as fixed income, options and derivatives, portfolio optimization, and quantitative risk management.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of the course students will:

Understand the concept of a limit, differentiation, and integration;
Be able to compute partial derivatives and multiple integrals;
Understand the utility of matrix decompositions;
Be able to use Lagrange multipliers to solve constrained optimization problems; and
Apply the above methods to problems arising in finance.

搞statistical NLP自然要吃透了概率、统计和随机过程，但适当的微积分、线性代数和数值计算基础也很重要。没时间系统恶补？No problem! Coursera上推出了一门 Mathematical Methods for Quantitative Finance ，虽然原本针对金融，但8周的课程提供的浓缩版数学对NLPer也很实用。

今天第一天开课，所以还没评价可以借鉴，但看涵盖的知识点都很实用：从极限讲起的一元微积分、偏导、多重积分、泰勒级数、拉格朗日乘数、特征向量、矩阵分解、优化用到的数值计算如牛顿法，都是paper里的常客.

课程简介

Mathematical Methods for Quantitative Finance covers topics from calculus and linear algebra that are fundamental for the study of mathematical finance. Students successfully completing this course will be mathematically well prepared to study quantitative finance at the graduate level.
