Glad you like them! You must have an earlier version. When I was working through the SOA76, I discovered that you need to include $\delta$ in the market-maker profit, so I added it in ... but I forgot that you don't want C multiplied by $\delta$. It should be that $S\Delta$ has a coefficient of $(r-\delta)$ and that $C$ only has a coefficient of $r$. This is the typo you're thinking of, right? You must have downloaded just before I put the fix in. Thanks, though.

These are great notes, thanks for sharing. I think the Asian option section may have a mistake though with the decrease/increase in option prices if you add more averaging periods, etc.

Hiya colby! I'm not sure if you're still involved with MFE note making but if possible, can you re-post the 3rd or 4th ed. of your notes? (dead link)

Thanks!

Did you compile this in TeX? If so would you share the Tex file? I have a student who wants to build a bank of notes and is just starting on LaTex?TeX.
