Financial mathematics is a newly emerging area, in which mathematics can be applied to quantify some activities that were traditionally not quantifiable. These include, but are not limited to, pricing financial derivatives, risk management, hedging and insurance. This symposium aims to provide a platform for researchers worldwide, who are working in the area of financial mathematics to gather together and disseminate their latest research results, as well as to encourage young mathematicians to take up the challenges in this newly emerging area.
