	Actuarial notation - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Actuarial notation is a shorthand method to allow actuaries to record mathematical formulas that deal with interest rates and life tables.
		Traditional notation uses a halo system where symbols are placed as superscript or subscript before or after the main letter.
		Notation to the bottom-right indicates the age of the person when the pension starts and the period for which a pension is paid.

	Actuarial present value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The calculation of an actuarial present value draws from the theories of expected values, present values and interest theory, one must have a stong understanding of all concepts in order to calculate an actuarial present value.
		This is not how an insurance policy works in practice, so it is often necessary to convert the actuarial present value paid at the end of the year to an actuarial present value paid at the moment of death by using a fractional age assumption.
		The actuarial present value of a life annuity is found similarly to the actuarial present value of a life insurance policy.

		The Actuarial Program is cross-collegiate and cooperative, spelling out a core of coursework which has been developed in consultation with practicing actuaries, and which is designed to give the student the best possible undergraduate foundation for a career as an actuary.
		Comment: "Actuarial Science" would be the natural AC for this program, but a student who came already having had the equivalent of an undergraduate Actuarial Science major might be hard pressed to find enough courses of direct actuarial interest to flesh out this program.
		However, a person seeking to reach entry-level proficiency in the actuarial field must realize that the elementary calculus courses cannot be taken concurrently, and a commitment of at least three years is necessary if starting from scratch.

		Actuaries are professionals who analyse the financial impact of risk, particularly looking ahead far into the future.
		Actuaries use skills in mathematics, economics, finance and statistics to study uncertain future events, especially those of concern to insurance companies, employee benefits such as medical insurance and pension plans, and social welfare programs such as social security and Medicare.
		For instance, in the U.S. the exams are given by the Society of Actuaries (www.soa.org) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (www.casact.org).

	Introduction to Actuarial Science
		Actuaries study demographic statistics and prepare the tables for mortality, morbidity and other events that happen unpredictably to individuals but with solemn regularity to large groups of people.
		Such jargon and notation are useful and convenient to the expert, but they are a barrier to outsiders, just like a foreign language.
		Acturial notation is a shorthand for quantities such as actuarial present values, future values, probabilities, and premiums.

		It is the most informative actuarial function for investigating the ageing process.
		The differences in longevity between species are the result primarily of differences in the rate of ageing and are therefore expressed in differences in slope of the Gompertz function.
		[Gompertz's] rigid adherence to Newton's fluxional notation prevented wide recognition of his accomplishment, but he must be rated as a pioneer in actuarial science and one of the great amateur scholars of his day.

	Presentation Markup
		The presentation elements are meant to express the syntactic structure of mathematical notation in much the same way as titles, sections, and paragraphs capture the higher-level syntactic structure of a textual document.
		These are distinct notational symbols or objects, as evidenced by their distinct spoken renderings and in some cases by their effects on linebreaking and spacing in visual rendering, and as such should be represented by the appropriate specific entity references.
		In traditional mathematical notation, expressions are recursively constructed out of smaller expressions, and ultimately out of single symbols, with the parts grouped and positioned using one of a small set of notational structures, which can be thought of as `expression constructors'.
