Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-23 00:00:00 Erika Gehman There are several jobs out there that are necessary but aren't in vogue due to them being boring or low-key. One such job is that of the humble actuary. While they are essential to insurance and other such fields many people haven't heard of actuarial science. This is the impression that I get, but it is possible that I just don't pay attention to a lot of little things. I first heard about actuaries in passing when I was watching Kim Possible; that television show from the Disney Channel back in the early 2000s. Then one of my mathematics teachers gifted me with a booklet called the Preliminary Actuarial Exams. So, due to my infinite curiosity, I decided to buy an actual textbook that teaches the techniques of Actuarial Science. So you might be wondering; what is an actuary? An actuary uses its mathematical chops to predict risk and price things accordingly. As such, it is beneficial for them to be able to read graphs and understand tables of data. This is especially true now. There are mountains of data and information out there that you have to make sense of. Statistical and Probabilistic Methods in Actuarial Science is a textbook by Philip J Boland. It covers what it says it does. It uses Statistics and Probability to develop tools that are useful to an actuary. So there are a lot of charts, graphs, and tables in this book. It starts slow but goes into more advanced subjects soon enough. There are examples and workable problems with answers in the back of the book. The book has a total of 8 major chapters and 4 appendices. If you would like to read this book or study actuarial science, it would help to have some math under your belt. This book seems to be part of a series, so maybe I will find the other books in it and read those as well.

It is a great to understand that even the pros do not win consistently and that trading is not about being perfect, but about perseverance and risk management.
