It is the summer of 1989 and a Norwegian couple return from hospital

this is their first child and they have named him Mats. The early
weeks pass in the delirious, hormone-flooded fug of new parenthood,
Robert documenting his son’s wriggles and cries on his camcorder
with a new-found paternal pride that has left him dumbfounded. And as
the months pass, the camera keeps rolling. Mats grows. He sprouts
bright blond Nordic hair. He drags himself to his feet and begins to
toddle. His father films him waddling across their living room in a
Tom and Jerry T-shirt. He was, Robert remembers, “the most
beautiful, perfect child”.

An Intuitive Explanation of Black-Scholes
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=74717&nl=daily]
The Black-Scholes formula is the crown jewel of quantitative finance.
Theformula gives the fair price of a European-style option, and its
success canultimately be measured by its impact on option markets.
Before the formula's publication in 1973 (Black & Scholes, 1973;
Merton, 1973), option markets were relatively small and illiquid, and
options werenot traded in standardized contracts. But after the
formula's publication,option markets grew rapidly. The first exchange
to list standardized stock options,the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
was founded the same year thatBlack-Scholes was published. And today,
options are a highly liquid, mature, andglobal asset class, with many
different tenors, exercise rights, and underlying assets.
