Options and Options Trading: A Simplified Course That Takes You from Coin Tosses to Black-Scholes Robert Ward 
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Rank: 30408 (California) September 7, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars Black-Scholes is the fundamental tool in computing the option prices. The author does an excellent job in deriving the formula without using any intense maths. Having an engineering background, I personally found the book fairly basic in terms math involved but I still appreciated the fact how a complex formula could be derived from using an every day example and without using any difficult equations. Very good job there. If you want to understand the basics and fundamentals behind the option pricing and evaluations and are mathematically challenged, then I strongly recommend that you read this text. This book lays the foundation and builds up the background needed for more complex text on options. This is very important because math in any other book will confound people without calculus knowledge. However, if you want to learn the option trading strategies, then this book doesn't do a very good job. It briefly describes those strategies, A book by Mcmillan or Kolb or Jabbour is well suited for that purpose. I don't think the author's intention in this book was to explain in detail different option strategies. This book is more focused in deriving the Black-Scholes formula in a very simple manner just as the title suggests and also to provide a good background on options in general. Reading this book will help you understand options pricing and will put you ahead of many traders. I have read this book in its entirety and I think the book deserves 5-stars for its simplictic approach.
