| Perturbation theory Perturbation theory comprises mathematical methods that are used to find an approximate solution to a problem which cannot be solved exactly, by starting from the exact solution of a related problem. Perturbation theory is applicable if the problem at hand can be formulated by adding a "small" term to the mathematical description of the exactly solvable problem.Perturbation theory leads to an expression for the desired solution in terms of a power series in some "small" parameter that quantifies the deviation from the exactly solvable problem.

| Black–Scholes Black–Scholes refers to three closely related concepts The Black–Scholes model is a mathematical model of the market for an equity, in which the equity's price is a stochastic process.
