Fourier & Laplace Transforms in Quant Finance: A Practical Guide for Quantitative Analysts and Traders
Financial markets are driven by complex mathematical models, and Fourier and Laplace transforms are powerful tools used in option pricing, risk-neutral valuation, and algorithmic trading. These mathematical techniques enable fast and efficient solutions to problems that would otherwise require time-consuming numerical methods.
This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between theory and real-world financial applications, equipping you with the tools needed to model derivatives, manage risk, and enhance trading strategies.
