Course Syllabus
Abstract
The basic topics of this course are compatible with official material of actuarial education in UK and other parts of the world. The course contains important material on topics that are relevant for recent insurance and actuarial developments. The first part of the course is focused on basic actuarial mathematics and life insurance. The second part of the course concentrates on risk theory where one of the topics is to estimate the ruin probability of an insurance company when its surplus is modelled by a Cramér-Lundberg process.
Learning Objectives
- The aim of this course is to provide the skills for basic actuarial calculations both in life and non-life insurance as well as understanding the basic principles behind these calculations.
- This course is highly theoretical and the greater focus is on mathematics behind the algorithms, not on obtaining data from Internet and not on software implementation. However, an important objective is operational knowledge of the studied techniques, say the use of actuarial tables, hence there will be a practical side to the course as well.
- By the end of the course students will have a broad view of applications, including the most recent and state-of-the-art developments in actuarial science.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- • Understanding and ability to present/describe the methods studied in this course in mathematical terms. • Application of these methods to problems/examples. • Understanding the limitations and benefits related to using of different actuarial techniques. • Implementing methods studied in the course with Mathematica and/or statistical software. • Efficient work in groups.
