Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics that deals with systems that appear to be disordered, but are actually following deterministic rules that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. This sensitivity causes the system to appear random and unpredictable. One of the simplest mathematical models to demonstrate chaos is the logistic map. This is a recurrence relation which is used to model population growth and is given by: x(n+1) = r * x(n) * (1 - x(n)) Here, x(n) is the proportion...

Unpack the myth that option Delta equals the probability of expiring in-the-money. Dive into risk-neutral valuation and the Black-Scholes model, where assets grow at a risk-free rate, making Delta an unreliable real-world probability indicator.
