Summary |
The book gives an overview of modern non-life actuarial science. It starts with a verbal description (i.e. without using any mathematical formulae) of the main actuarial problems to be solved in non-life insurance practice. Then in an extensive second chapter all the mathematical tools needed to solve these problems are dealt with – now in mathematical notation. The rest of the book is devoted to the exact formulation of various problems and their possible solutions.
Being a good mixture of practical problems and their actuarial solutions the book addresses above all two types of readers: firstly students (of mathematics, probability and statistics, informatics, economics) having some mathematical knowledge but knowing practically nothing about insurance and secondly insurance practitioners who remember mathematics only from some distance. Prerequisites are basic calculus and probability theory.
