Description

<p>This self-contained module for independent study covers the subjects most often needed by non-mathematics graduates, such as fundamental calculus, linear algebra, probability, and basic numerical methods. The easily-understandable text of <i>Introduction to Actuarial and Mathematical Methods</i> features examples, motivations, and lots of practice from a large number of end-of-chapter questions. For readers with diverse backgrounds entering programs of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, the Society of Actuaries, and the CFA Institute, <i>Introduction to Actuarial and Mathematical Methods</i> can provide a consistency of mathematical knowledge from the outset. </p><br><br><ul><li>Presents a self-study mathematics refresher course for the first two years of an actuarial program</li><li>Features examples, motivations, and practice problems from a large number of end-of-chapter questions designed to promote independent thinking and the application of mathematical ideas</li><li>Practitioner friendly rather than academic</li><li>Ideal for self-study and as a reference source for readers with diverse backgrounds entering programs of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, the Society of Actuaries, and the CFA Institute</li></ul>
