• MATH 401: Financial Math Actuarial Sci

  3.00 Credits

  Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

  
  Presents mathematical models in financial mathematics and interest theory, and how these concepts are applied in calculating present and accumulated values for various streams of cash flows as a basis for use in reserving, valuation, pricing, asset/liability management, investment income, capital budgeting, and valuing contingent cash flows. Financial instruments, including derivatives, and the concept of no-arbitrage are covered. This course covers materials for the second actuarial exam, Exam 2 ? Financial Mathematics (FM). Prerequisite:    MATH170
