In Memory of Professor John Hull

In Memory of Professor John Hull It was with a surprisingly sad and melancholic feeling that I read the news of Professor John Hull’s passing. Not because he was ever my professor, nor because I had the privilege of knowing him personally, but because he has been part of my life for a long time—mainly through his published textbooks, especially Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (7th Edition). That book enabled me to understand, both conceptually and from a mathematical point of view, what options are and how they can be valued. In doing so, it allowed me to develop my MSc thesis, “Capital Structure Active Management – A Contingent Claim Approach.” For all of this, I offer my heartfelt thanks to Professor Hull, along with my deepest and most sincere condolences to his family.
