Description of Black-Scholes and Beyond |
Black-Scholes and Beyond is a clear, detailed book on modern option pricing. Wall Street professional and respected mathematician, Neil Chriss provides a comprehensive, one-stop treatment of the most important and potentially profit-making of these theories.
Chriss explains the modern theory of option pricing from scratch, with all necessary mathematics and finance included in the text and accessible to the beginner. At the same time, Black-Scholes and Beyond provides in-depth coverage of newer option pricing models, theories and products, with enough detail for options market veterans.
Topics covered include:
- Cox-Ross-Rubenstein: Pioneering work on binomial trees, plus several new related methods of option pricing.
- Derman-Kani: The theory of implied volatility tree is covered comprehensively, but with less complexity than in the original work, and expanded for American options.
- Implied Binomial Trees: detailed discussion of the Rubinstein model and introduction of tools for increasing ease of use and utility.
In addition, Chriss notes that barrier options are quickly becoming one of the most important and closely followed exotic options. The book presents a clear, convincing and illuminating picture of where options pricing theory has been, where it is today and most important what the future holds.

Reviews'Neil Chriss tackles both the mathematical foundations and implementational nuances of options pricing models, and succeeds in conveying a wealth of knowledge with only minimal effort required of the reader. This book should be the first choice of anyone who seeks a thorough understanding of options but doesn't have the patience to decipher the technical jargon and mathematical symbolism that usually permeates writings on this topic.'
