The Black-Scholes model is a mathematical model used to calculate the theoretical price of a financial option. It was developed by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973 and is widely used in finance today. The model assumes that the price of the underlying asset follows a continuous, random walk (i.e., Brownian motion) and that option prices can be determined using partial differential equations.
