After his Thesis

His Ph.D. thesis defended, Bachelier suddenly seemed to discover the immensity of a world in which randomness exists. The theory of the stock market allowed him to view the classical results of probability with a new eye, and it opened new viewpoints for him. 

 

Starting in 1901, he showed that the known results about infinite sequences of fair coin flips could almost all be obtained from stock market theory and that one can derive new results that are more precise than anyone had previously suspected. 

 

In 1906, he proposes an almost general theory of "related probabilities" --> a theory about what would, 30 years later, be called Markov processes. This article by Bachelier was the starting point of a major study by Kolmogorov in 1931.

The NEW website is OUT! 

Go have a look at https://www.derivativesacademy.com.

You will find the content in the 'Derivatives Academy' section in a book format. 
The full content is not yet available as I am rewriting it and improving it.

You can try the Exotic Derivatives pricer under the 'Derivatives Pricer' section (
https://www.derivativesacademy.com/derivatives-pricer/). I will speed up the page soon as I forgot to compress some images.
Each application allows you to price differents products and contains links towards the correct section of the book. 
You will then be able to get practical and theoretical knowledge quite easily.

I teach quite often using the pricer. You can get so much information and answers to your questions thanks to it.

Take advantage of it as much as you can to hone your knowledge!
