Actuarial Mathematics and Life-Table Statistics
This book is a course of lectures on the mathematics of actuarial science. The
idea behind the lectures is as far as possible to deduce interesting material on
contingent present values and life tables directly from calculus and common-
sense notions, illustrated through word problems. Both the Interest Theory
and Probability related to life tables are treated as wonderful concrete appli-
cations of the calculus. The lectures require no background beyond a third
semester of calculus, but the prerequisite calculus courses must have been
solidly understood. It is a truism of pre-actuarial advising that students who
have not done really well in and digested the calculus ought not to consider
actuarial studies.
