  2. DV01, Dollar Duration, and One-Factor Price Sensitivity

    Translate yield movements into first-order price risk.

  3. Conditional Expectation

    Understand what it means to condition on current information.

  4. Stochastic Processes, Brownian Motion and Itô's Lemma

    Follow Brownian dynamics and the second-order term in Itô calculus.
