Abstract

An Introduction to Actuarial Studies provides a contemporary guide to actuarial technique and practice. It covers a broad range of topics representing the basic areas of actuarial science including compound interest calculations, demographic theory and techniques, and the pricing and operation of simple life assurance contracts. Numerous worked examples illustrate the principles and techniques described in the text. In addition, the authors provide exercises with solutions to allow the reader to establish confidence in using these techniques.
