  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.

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.

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.

 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'.
