Introduction:

Actuarial Science deals with evaluating risks and maintaining the economic stability of insurance or financial organizations.

Actuaries analyze past data and use that information to determine how much money should be set aside to cover the financial losses which could occur in the future.

This course has been carefully designed for trainees from a wide variety of backgrounds. Even if you don’t have any background in, for example, calculus, the course has been designed so you can skip over these sections without affecting your understanding of the rest of the course.
