Description
Excerpt from Actuarial Science: An Elementary Manual
This little handbook is the outcome of a course of lectures delivered by the author during the winter of 1891-92, under the auspices of the Institute of Accountants and Actuaries in Glasgow. It is intended as an elementary treatise on Actuarial Science, and is published in the hope that it may, in part at least, supply a want which has frequently been expressed. The existing Text Books are all that could be desired for the professional Actuary, but they are much too advanced for those who make the subject only a side branch of study.
The author puts forward no claim to originality in connection with this treatise. The ground it covers has frequently been traversed before. If he has succeeded in stating clearly the elementary principles of the science, and in smoothing to some extent the path of the student, his purpose has been amply fulfilled.
