This
project is a mixture of mathematical studies and financing studies. I will be
delving into the four types of financial derivatives: futures, options,
forwards, and swaps. I plan to discuss each of these derivatives in much detail
and explain how they affect the economy. I will then provide examples of how to
apply these derivatives to specific situations and what it means to the
customer and/or the company. My project will give insight to one of the many
correlations between mathematics and finance.
