MATLAB is a powerful software for numerical computations and data analysis in the scientific environment. Its usage is constantly increasing âE.¨in the world of Economics and Financial Analysis, âE.¨due to the possibility to express problems âE.¨and their solutions mathematically and graphically. This book is recommended to the students of the faculty of Economics, but it may be useful also to graduate students working in contexts that need numerical solutions of problems. It offers a clear and easy introduction to MATLAB and to its main applications âE.¨in the economic and financial environment. The base elements of MATLAB are illustrated. Moreover, the book deals with the problem of finding the roots âE.¨of an equation, the problem of portfolio optimization, Value at Risk, linear regression and curve fitting. âE.¨Each subject is equipped with several examples âE.¨and exercises with solution. Authors Cristina Pocci is Ph. D. in Mathematical Models and Methods for Technology âE.¨and Society. She has been tutor âE.¨and professor on contract of Calculus and Mathematics in various departments âE.¨of Università degli Studi della Tuscia, Sapienza, Roma Tre and LUISS Guido Carli. Giulia Rotundo is an Associate Professor for Mathematical Methods âE.¨in Economics and Finance at the Department of Methods and Models âE.¨for Economics, Environment, and Finance, Sapienza University of Rome. Roeland De Kok is specialized âE.¨in geoinformatics and computer vision âE.¨at the University of Monaco (DE). âE.¨He has got the PhD in the group of Dr Binning, Nobel prize winner for automatic data mining. He is currently external consultant in Germany and in Poland âE.¨for the program for Earth observation Copernicus (EC-ESA). Il volume è disponibile anche in italiano: Matlab per le applicazioni economiche e finanziarie
