Topics: The basic theory of interest, fixed income securities, mean-variance portfolio theory. Meaning and pricing of forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Black-Scholes-Merton model and its various generalizations for continuous-time modeling of asset prices. European option pricing under some of these model assumptions.
