Dickson, D. C. M. 1959-
Solutions manual for actuarial mathematics for life contingent risks / David C.M. Dickson, Mary R. Hardy, Howard R. Waters. - Third edition. - Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020. - vii, 296 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This must-have manual provides detailed solutions to all of the 300 exercises in Dickson, Hardy and Waters' Actuarial Mathematics for Life Contingent Risks, Third Edition. This groundbreaking text on the modern mathematics of life insurance is required reading for the Society of Actuaries' (SOA) LTAM Exam. The new edition treats a wide range of newer insurance contracts such as critical illness and long-term care insurance; pension valuation material has been expanded; and two new chapters have been added on developing models from mortality data and on changing mortality. Beyond professional examinations, the textbook and solutions manual offer readers the opportunity to develop insight and understanding through guided hands-on work, and also offer practical advice for solving problems using straightforward, intuitive numerical methods. Companion Excel spreadsheets illustrating these techniques are available for free download. David C. M. Dickson holds a PhD in Actuarial Science from Heriot-Watt University and is a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and the Institute of Actuaries of Australia. David lectured for seven years at Heriot-Watt University before moving to the University of Melbourne in 1993. In 2000 he was appointed to the Chair in Actuarial Studies in Melbourne. He was Head of the Department of Economics from 2016 to 2018. He has twice been awarded the HM Jackson Prize of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia, most recently for his book Insurance Risk and Ruin (2016). Mary R. Hardy is Professor of Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo. She earned her PhD in Actuarial Science from Heriot-Watt University, where she lectured for 11 years before moving to the University of Waterloo in 1997. She is a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, and of the Society of Actuaries. In 2007 she was awarded the Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst designation of the Society of Actuaries, through their thought-leader recognition program. In 2013 she was awarded the Finlaison Medal of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries for services to the actuarial profession, in research, teaching and governance. Howard R. Waters is Professor Emeritus at the Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University. He holds a DPhil in mathematics from the University of Oxford, and worked as a consulting actuary for several years before joining Heriot-Watt University. He is a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. He was awarded the Finlaison medal of the Institute of Actuaries in 2006 for services to actuarial research and education"--
