Dear Students
Welcome to ACTL2001 Financial Mathematics. This course is one of eight
courses for the BCom Actuarial major. Most of you will also be completing
ACTL2002 Probability and Statistics for Actuaries in this session. If you are
completing a combined BSc/BCom then you will be completing
statistics/mathematics courses as part of the BSc in place of ACTL2002. In
Session 2 you should all be completing ACTL2003 Stochastic Models for
Actuarial Applications.
Financial Mathematics is a fundamental tool used by actuaries and actuarial
graduates in the financial services industry. In the early days of the actuarial
profession it was necessary to develop the mathematics of financial
transactions, of annuities and of loans as well as models for mortality in life
insurance products. This course will provide you with a foundation in the
financial mathematics required for modern financial markets and provide a
foundation for courses in your actuarial major in the final years of
undergraduate study at UNSW. We hope you find the course challenging and
interesting.
In this session, the learning and teaching strategy adopted in this course
is radically new. This course is part of a pilot project undertaken by the School
of Actuarial studies, along with ACTL5102 Financial Mathematics and
ACTL5301 Models for Risk Management. Feedback on this innovative strategy
is not only welcomed, but highly wanted! Please don’t hesitate to share any
thoughts.留学作业定做
This course outline has details of the course requirements, course aims and
learning outcomes, content, teaching methods, assessment tasks, texts and
readings, and expectations. Please read it carefully and thoroughly, as it will
be assumed that you are familiar with the contents. This is particularly
important because of the new, unfamiliar approach taken in this course.
If you have any questions about the course at any time then please contact me.
I look forward to guiding your learning through the duration of the course.
Dr Benjamin Avanzi
