Abstract
This paper considers approximate solution of Black-Scholes pricing model for European call option using a semi-analytical method. In this approach, the second-order parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) is transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and solved. It is observed that the approximate values obtained are in good agreement with previous results with less computational and programming efforts.
