Course Description

Students who pass this course will master the basics of interest rates and discrete cash flow. Students will understand fundamental probabilistic notions and match them with basic concepts in statistics. Using those, students will be able to define mathematical models in life and general insurance. Utilizing learned models, students will outline calculations of cash flows contingent on survivorship, premiums and reserves.
