This book is an outgrowth of notes compiled by the author while teaching courses for undergraduate and masters/MBA finance students at Washing-ton University in St. Louis and the Institut ffir HShere Studien in Vienna. At one time, a course in Options and Futures was considered an advanced finance elective, but now such a course is nearly mandatory for any finance major and is an elective chosen by many non-finance majors as well. Moreover, students are exposed to derivative securities in courses on Investments, International Finance, Risk Management, Investment Banking, Fixed Income, etc. This ex-pansion of education in derivative securities mirrors the increased importance of derivative securities in corporate finance and investment management.
