Seven Introductory Lectures on Actuarial Mathematics

INTRODUCTORY LECTURES on TURBULENCE Physics , Mathematics and Modeling

Actuarial Mathematics and Life-Table Statistics

This book is a course of lectures on the mathematics of actuarial science. The idea behind the lectures is as far as possible to deduce interesting material on contingent present values and life tables directly from calculus and common-sense notions, illustrated through word problems. Both the Interest Theory and Probability related to life tables are treated as wonderful concrete applications ...

Report on " Modular Forms and String Duality " (06w5041)

The workshop was a huge success. Altogether thirty-seven mathematicians and physicists converged at the BIRS for the five day workshop. There were 26 one hour talks presented. Some were introductory lectures by mathematicians designed to prepare physicists in modular forms, quasimodular forms, modularity of Galois representations, and toric geometry. Vice versa, introductory lectures by physici...

SOME COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS FOR THE FUZZY RANDOM VALUE OF LIFE ACTUARIAL LIABILITIES

The concept of fuzzy random variable has been applied in several papers to model the present value of life insurance liabilities. It allows the fuzzy uncertainty of the interest rate and the probabilistic behaviour of mortality to be used throughout the valuation process without any loss of information. Using this framework, and considering a triangular interest rate, this paper develops closed...

Stochastic Integration and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations: a Tutorial a Vigre Minicourse on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations Held by the Department of Mathematics

These are supplementary notes for three introductory lectures on SPDEs that were held as part of a VIGRE minicourse on SPDEs at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah (May 8–19, 2006). The notes are rough, and not meant for publication. So read them at your own risk.
