This thesis explains the theoretical background of stochastic differential equations in one dimension. We also show how to solve such differential equations using strong It o-Taylor expansion schemes over large time grids. We also attempt to solve a problem regarding a specific approximation of a stochastic integral for which there is no explicit solution. This approximation, which utilizes the distribution of this particular stochastic integral, gives the wrong order of convergence when performing a grid convergence study. We use numerical integration of the stochastic integral as an alternative approximation, which is correct with regards to convergence.
