A Mathematical Walk Down Wall Street

Three popular theories of the financial market will be discussed, each of
which contradicts the other two.  During the past half century the principles
of the efficient Market Theory have gradually gained popularity in the 
financial world, while at the same time they have been under constant 
attack, especially in recent years.  The models of the New Investment 
Technology are becoming indespensable tools for the institutional 
investors as well as the individual investors.  In this talk we will 
provide the mathematical background to some of the models.
