Monte Carlo methods applied to financial engineering in Python
What it is
A collection of Python projects that apply Monte Carlo methods to financial engineering. The examples cover option pricing and stochastic simulation, written to make the numerical techniques easy to follow. Python learners and early-stage quants who want to understand Monte Carlo methods through concrete cases will benefit most. It is an educational project, so the examples prioritise clarity over the performance and generality of a pricing library.
