Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with the picture of actuarial mathematics and provide them with basic knowledge and methods of this discipline. The accent is put on the ability to use acquired knowledge in different areas of the insurance theory and practice.
Students will be able to use acquired knowledge not only in the system of insurance but also in other related disciplines, they will formulate alternate approaches, select appropriate methods and suitably present the solution and defend it with necessary arguments.
Prerequisites
unspecified
