How do you prepare for a career in derivatives?
Q. At the moment, I'm working in Investment Accounting. I do operations work (mostly accounting for bonds, stocks, etc). However, my boss wants me to work with the derivatives team as well. I'll be training for derivatives operations soon. I'm a little nervous since I don't really know much about it and I've heard it's quite complex. I've taken international finance while I was in college which covered derivatives briefly. What's a good way to prepare for this? What kind of math is invovled with derivatives operations? Any help woudl be appreciated. Thanks!

Some funcitions are implicit, meaning the function itself (y) appears in an equation mixed up with the other variables. Sometimes it is difficult to separate the y out, or when you do you end up with a complex function. In that case implicit differentiation is used. This is better explained in the following article: Yes partial derivatives are… [cont.]
