Abstract
The study of financial engineering, risk modelling and the valuation of financial instruments requires knowledge in basic statistics and probability theory. We will here provide a short introduction to the basic concepts. Since the main focus of this book is not on statistics and probability theory, we give only the theorems and definitions needed for further reading in financial engineering.
