Springer Proceedings in Mathematics
The book series features volumes of selected contributions from workshops and conferences in all areas of current research activity in mathematics. Besides an overall evaluation, at the hands of the publisher, of the interest, scientific quality, and timeliness of each proposal, every individual contribution is refereed to standards comparable to those of leading mathematics journals. This series thus proposes to the research community well-edited and authoritative reports on newest developments in the most interesting and promising areas of mathematical research today.

Preface
The history of mathematical and numerical finance starts in 1900, with the seminal thesis of Louis Bachelier, Th´eorie de la Sp´eculation, which introduced Brownian motion in order to model stock price movements and evaluate options. Not only did this remarkable work modeled the randomness of stock prices in a mathematical framework germane to the popular Nobel Prize in Economics winning solution propos
