    Description

    In this work, we present some numerical solutions to the famous Black-Scholes equation. Although a closed form solution for the price of European options is available, the prices of more complicated derivatives such as American options may require a numerical solution of the Black-Scholes equation. This poster will focus primarily on the solution to the equation for the European call option.
