Black–Scholes model

The Black-Scholes model is a mathematical model used to price options and other financial derivatives. It is based on the assumption that the price of a stock follows a geometric Brownian motion, which is a type of random process. The model takes into account various factors such as the current stock price, the exercise price of the option, the time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, and the volatility of the stock.
