Summary

The binomial or Cox–Ross–Rubinstein (CRR) model is a simple discrete model for the financial market. The advantage of this model is that it is simple enough that it can be implemented and analysed without advanced mathematics like stochastic integration or Itô calculus, yet it is complicated enough to reflect a financial market. In particular, it allows us to easily understand concepts like risk-neutral measures and hedging strategies.
