Utility Maximisation in Incomplete Markets

In these lectures we give a short introduction to the basic concepts of Mathematical Finance, focusing on the notion of “no arbitrage”, and subsequently apply these notions to the problem of optimizing dynamically a portfolio in an incomplete financial market with respect to a given utility function U.
