Financial Engineering For a long time now, Mathematica has been especially focussed on financial mathematical functions, allowing for the successes in this enormously significant core fiel of economy. Via "curated data" in Mathematica, it is possible to retrieve financial data online from the servers at Wolfram Research and analyse them. With Mathematica 8, Wolfram Research adds special financial mathematical instruments in form of charts. A large number of available bonds and derivatives Time-related calculations of annuities, interest rates, cashflows Implied volatility and computation of Greeks Enge Verflechtung von Finanzfunktionen Überprüfen einer numerischen Berechnung Exotische Verträge Griechische Berechnungsmethode Anwendungen Eingabe von symbolischen Parametern Grafische Darstellung Finden von Lösungen Vermögenswerte Kombinationsmöglichkeiten Tight Integration of financial functions Compute the value of an option, based on the latest price of the stock and continuous-compounding equivalent interest rate. Control Numerical Evaluation Compute the critical value surface of an American put option using a custom number of grid points. Exotic Contracts Handling for a number of exotic contracts, for example, perpetual lookback contracts. Computation of Greeks Compute the sensitivities to various parameters.

Plot Values as a Function of any Variable The symbolic structure of many financial functions allows for easy visualization. Find Solutions for Specified Variables Solve, FindRoot, and other functions can be used to find solutions for symbolic variables. Assets with Growing Payments "Annuity", "AnnuityDue", and "FinancialBond" can take payment arguments in a functional form to specify payment structures that vary with time. Combine Interest Rate and Payment Processes FinancialBond and Annuity allow for the calculation of values and other measures under the combination of functional interest rate and payment processes.
