Mathematical Finance Library: Algorithms and methodologies related to mathematical finance.
The finmath lib libraries provides implementations of methodologies related to mathematical finance, but applicable to other fields, e.g., the Monte-Carlo simulation of SDEs and the estimation of conditional expectations in Monte-Carlo.
The libraries have a focus on Monte-Carlo methods, interest rate products and models and hybrid models.
finmath lib is now on Java 8 (since February 2nd, 2014), but a Java 6 version is provided too.
Note: for convenience the provided Eclipse project is configured for Java 6. The maven pom defaults to Java 6. To build the Java 8 version use the profile "java-8", i.e. the maven command line option "-P java-8"
Starting with version 1.2.19 finmath lib is distributed through the central maven repository. It's coordinates are:
<groupId>net.finmath</groupId>
<artifactId>finmath-lib</artifactId>
<version>1.2.20</version>
The finmath lib Java library comes in two flavors which have a slightly different code base: a Java 8 version and a Java 6 version. We will use Java 8 concepts in the future and try to provide Java 6 compatibility where possible.
For that reason, the source code is duplicated:
- src/main/java contains the Java 8 compatible source files
- src/main/java6 contains the Java 6 compatible source files
Although the two folder share some/many identical source files, we prefer this two folder layout over one with a third folder like java-common.
- To build finmath lib for Java 8 use src/main/java
- To build finmath lib for java 6 use src/main/java-6
These builds may be performed via Maven the profiles "java-8" and "java-6". The eclipse project file is pre-configured to Java 6.
The maven pom defaults to the Java 6 build. To build finmath lib for Java 8 use the maven profile "java-8".
Source code and demos are provided via Github and a subversion repository.

Git repositories with Java code:

Subversion repositories with Java code:
- finmath lib: http://svn.finmath.net/finmath lib

Although not recommeded, the repository contains an Eclipse procject and classpath file including all dependencies. We provide this for convenience. We provide instructions on how to checkout the code using the Eclipse IDE. Of course, you may use the IDE of your choice by simply importing the maven pom.
