In this video, we connect option prices to volatility (via Black–Scholes 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 “back out” IV from market prices and use the full surface as a map of risk. 🎬𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙎𝙀 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙎𝙊𝙊𝙉 - Quantitative Finance 💌 https://snu.socratica.com/quantitative-finance 𝙌𝙐𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙀 𝙁𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 is where math meets the market.
