for Excel and Other Software
The
Options Calculator and Applications Builder
The DerivaGem
2.01 calculator can be downloaded here.
It is simpler than earlier versions in that only one *.xls file is now needed to run the software. Features of the
software include the following
Version 2.01 corrects a small error that sometimes occurred in Version 2.00 in the calculation of implied volatilities from binomial trees.
An Open Office version of the Application Builder functions is provided, but Mac users are recommended to buy “Excel for Mac 2011” so that they can use the Excel versions of both the Options Calculator and the Applications Builder
Documentation for the software is at the end of each of the three books.

NOTE: You need DG_122.xls, DG_ADDIN.xla, and
