What is MATH3009 about?

This unit covers the pricing and valuation (reserving) of insurance contracts for a single life contract assuming a constant deterministic interest rate. Practical knowledge is presented alongside mathematical techniques relevant to actuarial practice in life insurance and, by extension, related fields such as superannuation (pensions). Practical, hands-on modelling experience is developed through the use of Excel spreadsheets (students are assumed to have basic Excel skills prior to commencement of this unit).
