Does anyone know of any good books on financial math? I am interested in something that covers the basics of financial math and is accessible to undergraduates. I don't want anything that takes a phd to understand.

If you are referring to modeling economic systems then you must learn about nonlinear dynamic systems (Chaos) .

I had something in mind like Black-scholes equation (which is very famous), financial derivatives, options, etc.
