Abstract

We give the background and required tools for applying quasi-Monte Carlo methods efficiently to problems in computational finance, and survey recent developments in this field. We describe methods for pricing european path-dependent options, and also discuss problems involving the estimation of gradients and the simulation of stochastic volatility models.
