This paper aims at giving an overview of option pricing methods. Its stress is on intuition rather than on replicating formulas; furthermore it does not presume pre-knowledge of option pricing. The paper considers the two major classes of option models (discrete and continuous trading) and mimicking and non-minmicking pricing methods.
