Mathematical models in finance

Study that addresses the historical evolution of the use of Normal Distribution in Finance, analyzes the models in use and points out opportunities for improvement given the technological advances and the need to use new assumptions in mathematical modeling for finance. This book makes a historical review of the first recorded use of Normal Curve and also presents a case study with the IBOVESPA in a period of 20 years, resulting in distributions different from the Normal, as expected.
