I find HTML 4.0 is easily forgotten, so please forgive the primitive web
page design. The ancillary pages link to some of my research in Mathematical
Finance, resources for PhD students and problems with solutions for those
attending the course, Stochastic Processes I, as part of the
MSc in
Mathematics and Finance run by the Mathematics Department at Imperial College . There are three main file
types associated with these pages. Latex .dvi files, .ps (postscript) files
and a small number of .pdf files. To be able to view these files you will
need some special software. Those using Linux, SUSE 6.x or later and Redhat
5.y or later, for example, will have the software required as part of the
distribution. Of course, you may have to install it if you have not already
done so. Roughly speaking, you need the Latex package for .dvi files,
Ghostview, or some other Postscript Viewer, for .ps files and Acroread, the
Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux, for the .pdf files. I noticed that the Linux
Postscript viewer will open .pdf files but it seems to miss out some of the
file. Many of you will have the misfortune to be using some version of
Microsoft Windows as an operating system. You have my sympathy. There is a
package for creating and viewing Latex documents which runs under Windows, it
is called MikTex
and is available from the College Sunsite via the link. To view postscript
files I have sometimes used Ghostview. The link will take you
to the College SunSite, there may be a postscript viewer there.....there may
not. The Adobe Acrobat Reader seems to be
included in most software nowdays but the link will take you to a download if
you don't have it. One of the links below take you to scanned notes from the course MP3
