The syllabus for the short-term section of the examination provides an introduction to modeling and covers important actuarial methods that are useful in modeling. It will also introduce candidate to the foundational principles of ratemaking and reserving for short-term coverages. A thorough knowledge of calculus, probability (as covered in Exam P), and mathematical statistics (as covered in VEE Mathematical Statistics) is assumed.
Ken graduated from Indiana University in 1995 with a BS in Mathematics and became a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society in 2000. Ken has served as President and Education Officer for the Midwestern Actuarial Forum, worked on the CAS Exam Committee for six years, and served on the Task Force on Basic Education Internet Modules. He has taught over 40 seminars covering ratemaking, reserving, accounting, regulation, and reinsurance over the past 12 years. Ken has 18 years of actuarial experience. He currently is the Executive Director for The Infinite Actuary and oversees all of TIA's CAS Exam Seminars. Ken and his wife live in Indianapolis with their three children.
David became interested in probability in high school while attending the 1988 (and 1989) Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics. He graduated from Harvard in 1996, majoring in mathematics, received his Ph.D. from Cornell in 2002, also in mathematics, and spent three years as a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley, in the department of statistics. He was a TA for a number of classes, including probability, at both Harvard and Cornell, and was the instructor for both Probability and Stochastic Processes while at Berkeley. His student evaluations for Stochastic Processes were tied for the highest of any instructor in undergraduate classes in the Berkeley Department of Statistics in the Spring 2004 semester.
MA 456 - Fundamentals of Actuarial Mathematics4.00 credits.A comprehensive development of the theoretical basis of certain actuarial models and their application to insurance. Topics include insurance and reinsurance coverages; severity, frequency, and aggregate models; parametric estimation; credibility; pricing and reserving for short-term insurance coverages; retirement financial security programs; mortality models; survival estimation; present value random variables for long-term insurance coverages; premium and policy value calculation for long-term insurance coverages; and option pricing fundamentals. This course is aimed at students preparing for the Actuarial Examination FAM. *Prerequisite(s): MA 255 and MA 351 . Fall semester.
Actuarial Science stands at the intersection of risk and money. Actuaries use their knowledge of mathematics and probability theory to define, analyze and solve complex business, financial and social problems. Actuaries evaluate individual and corporate risks, and design financially sound insurance and pension plans.Graduates from the University of Pennsylvania with an Actuarial Mathematics Minor are expected to be in great demand by the insurance and banking industry.
Actuarial science is a difficult profession. Actuarial exams usually last between 3 and 5 hours, and each requires rigorous preparation. Candidates must often have a bachelor's degree, and it make take up to a decade for a candidate to complete all training and exams.\"}},{\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"What Type of Math Do Actuaries Use\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"Actuaries often have a background in probability, statistics, and financial mathematics.

*Changes in the mathematics requirements of the University Minor in Actuarial Mathematics must be approved by the Undergraduate Chairman of the Mathematics Department, Professor Tony Pantev (UGradChair@math.upenn.edu).
This plan leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. This undergraduate degree is designed to prepare a student for a career in industry or education, as well as graduate study in mathematics, statistics, operations research or other mathematically based disciplines. This plan balances courses in classical foundations of mathematics, and modern numerical methods using computer algorithms and software. Students who seek teaching certification should consider following alternative mathematics degree plans that include teaching certification (4-8 and 7-12). Please consult the College of Education (COE) for more information.
The two 1 hour exam preparation courses for Exam P and Exam FM have been modified. The Exam FM course, MAT 3541 Topics in FM (1 hour), has been changed to MAT 3331 Problems in Financial Mathematics (2 hours) and the Exam P course MAT 3532 Topics in P (1 hour), has been changed to MAT 3251 Problems in Probability (2 hours). This will allow the students to have more study time for the first two actuarial exams. These two course have also been added to the Major Electives list.
The following table shows one sample of how scheduling the required courses for the actuarial science major may look for a student who entered in a semester prior to Fall 2022. This schedule does not show the additional courses required by the university. A student should determine their schedule with the help of their academic advisor.
