Introduction to Actuarial and Financial Mathematical Methods covers the subjects most often needed by non-mathematics graduates, including fundamental calculus, linear algebra, probability, and basic numerical methods. The book 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. Users will find a plethora of mathematical knowledge that is 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.
