The Theory of Speculation

1900

by Louis Bachelier at University of Paris

Louis Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Bachelier (March 11, 1870 – April 28, 1946)[1] was a French mathematician at the turn of the 20th century. He is credited with being the first person to model the stochastic process now called Brownian motion, which was part of his PhD thesis The Theory of Speculation, (published 1900).

According to Jean-Michel Courtault et al., "The date March 29, 1900, should be considered as the birthdate of mathematical finance. . . . On that day, a French postgraduate student, Louis Bachelier, successfully defended at the Sorbonne his thesis. . . . This pioneering analysis of the stock and option markets contains several ideas of enormous value in both finance and probability. In particular, the theory of Brownian motion, one of the most important mathematical discoveries of the twentieth century, was initiated and used for the mathematical modeling of price movements and the evaluation of contingent claims in financial markets."
