Events
The use of sophisticated mathematical tools in financial engineering ranging from partial differential equations to stochastic analysis and numerical methods has been growing steadily during the past few decades. On the one hand, the mathematical tools and results have impacted the way financial phenomena are modeled and understood, and how risk is assessed and managed. On the other hand, the financial industry has been presenting a number of mathematical and computational challenges to researchers. The conference aims at showing the applications of theoretical advances to practitioners, with a special focus to Brazil.

Participants requiring special arrangements due to time or physical constraints are kindly requested to contact us at the above email for further information.
Poster Session
We will hold a poster session during part
of the evenings so as to encourage the contribution of research and
projects currently developed by students. Posters should be sent to math.fin.impa@gmail.com using Poster Session as subject. The standard adopted for posters is size A0 vertical.
Deadline for submission of posters: October 23rd, 2009.
Contributed Communications
We will have a number of thematic
sessions on topics of interest. To cite a few: Option Pricing,
Portfolio Optimization, Risk Management, Real Options. These sessions
will be composed of contributed communications of 30 minutes.
Contributions should be sent to math.fin.impa@gmail.com using Contributed Communications as subject.
