  • The file greeks.mws is a Maple worksheet that lets you calculate and plot the greeks for vanilla call and put options. The files exotics.mws and barrier.mws let you calculate and plot digital call and put values, and down-and-out barrier call values. The files will probably appear as text and you will then need to save them in order to read them into maple as worksheets.
