A problem-solving approach to pension funding and valuation

This text is listed in the Course of Reading for the EA-2,A Examination of the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries. This work differs from other texts on pension mathematics by presenting the topic through a very large number of worked examples, rather than in a conceptual, formula-oriented approach. It contains 169 worked examples, discussion questions intended to stimulate further understanding of the subject, and numerical end-of-chapter exercises. Most of the examples and exercises are taken from past examinations of the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries. The text is intended for several audiences, including university students, pension practitioners and candidates for various pension actuarial exams.
