This very readable book prepares students for professional exams and for real-world actuarial work in life insurance and pensions.
Klappentext:
The substantially updated third edition of the popular Actuarial Mathematics for Life Contingent Risks is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of actuarial science, for trainee actuaries preparing for professional actuarial examinations, and for life insurance practitioners who wish to increase or update their technical knowledge. The authors provide intuitive explanations alongside mathematical theory, equipping readers to understand the material in sufficient depth to apply it in real-world situations and to adapt their results in a changing insurance environment. Topics include modern actuarial paradigms, such as multiple state models, cash-flow projection methods and option theory, all of which are required for managing the increasingly complex range of contemporary long-term insurance products. Numerous exam-style questions allow readers to prepare for traditional professional actuarial exams, and extensive use of Excel ensures that readers are ready for modern, Excel-based exams and for the actuarial work environment. The Solutions Manual (ISBN 9781108747615), available for separate purchase, provides detailed solutions to the text's exercises.

Rezension:
'Some decades ago, Life Contingencies were viewed as the boring part of actuarial mathematics. The third (substantially enlarged) edition of this classic is proof of how wrong that view was. Some of the most exciting developments of our field are taking place here. The authors are to be congratulated on having made the latter abundantly clear. This surely is my desert island book on the topic!' Paul Embrechts, Emeritus Professor of Insurance Mathematics, ETH Zurich
