DESCRIPTION:The subject of mathematical finance can both be better underst
 ood\, and related to the way the economy\, and especially markets operate\
 , with an appreciation of the economic issues involved. \n\nThis seminar\,
  as an optional session will explain\, from a pure economics and finance v
 iewpoint what markets are\, how they operate\, and how that relates to som
 e of the criteria upon which the models in the course are either built or 
 dependent. \n\nEconomics is a broad field\, and some background in the sub
 ject not merely helps with the stochastic modelling course\, but also to s
 ee where the methods developed in the course can be applied in areas other
  than finance. \n\nIt is expected to take around about 90 minutes. There w
 ill be time for questions afterwards\, and if requested\, an insight will 
 be given on the current financial crisis and its repercussions. \n\nLectur
