What is MATH3010 about?

This unit covers the pricing and valuation (reserving) of financial contracts involving multi-decrements and multiple lives. Practical knowledge is presented alongside mathematical techniques relevant to actuarial practice in life and health insurance and superannuation (pensions). The principles of cashflow modelling are discussed including such topics as choice of model, deterministic and stochastic models and use of scenario and sensitivity testing. 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).
