Prerequisite
*** Prerequisite: OPTIONS & FUTURES I: HEDGING STRATEGIES

The course futures and options 1 is obviously a prerequisite for futures and options 2. Students who sign up for this module should have basic knowledge of financial markets and institutions. Students should also be comfortable with mathematical modeling, and be also familiar with probability calculus.

In this course, the so-called Black-Scholes formula will not be proved. However, it will be shown to the student how one can obtain this Black-Scholes formula from a (suitable) binomial framework. While not so complicated, this will require familarity with probability and mathematical notations.
