Numerical Probability: An Introduction with Applications to Finance

This textbook provides a self-contained introduction to numerical methods in probability with a focus on applications to finance.

Topics covered include the Monte Carlo simulation (including simulation of random variables, variance reduction, quasi-Monte Carlo simulation, and more recent developments such as the multilevel paradigm), stochastic optimization and approximation, discretization schemes of stochastic differential equations, as well as optimal quantization methods.
