A note on Black–Scholes implied volatility

An approximate formula for the Black–Scholes implied volatility is given by means of an asymptotic representation of the Black–Scholes formula. This representation is based on a variable change that reduces the number of meaningful variables from five to three. It is stated clearly which is the family of functions we are going to work, specially the inverse of the normal accumulative function. Estimates for the error in the resulting approximate formulas for both the option value and the volatility are obtained as well.
