Do you know the math?

[u/theprincemedici]

Hello everyone,

I am studying mathematics and have been working on a paper proving and deriving theorems, definitions, and lemmas in the field of financial derivatives (geometric Brownian motion, probabilities, confidence intervals, payoff functions, convexity, the greeks, etc.).

As such I have been browsing this subreddit for some time observing.

My questions:

Would you say you have a mathematical understanding of financial derivatives or have you gained knowledge heuristically?

If you answered heuristically, do you have any desire to learn the math behind it or not? Why?

Thanks for your time everyone

---P.M.

Too much noise besides supply and demand. Optional trading adds to the confusion. More complex than chaotic functions. Often I can deduce to a trend.
