Implied volatility is the marketâs forward-looking view of riskâand the volatility surface shows how that view changes across strikes and expirations. In this video, we connect option prices to volatility (via BlackâScholes and numerical methods), explain why IV differs by strike (smile/skew) and by time (term structure), and show how quants read the surface to spot mispricing and structure trades. Learn how to âback outâ IV from market prices and use the full surface as a map of risk.

ðððŒðððððŒðððð ððððŒððŸð is where math meets the market.
It is a supremely rational, logical approach to finance. It involves analyzing large datasets, generating mathematical models to make predictions about how markets will behave. Then, in application of these models, traders buy and sell securities based on those predictions.
In this course, you will learn the key tools used by "quants."
