Reviews
This book is an ideal introduction to the mathematical background required for students who wish to embark on an actuarial or financial career. It will be especially useful to students who have not taken a mathematical degree. The extensive examples throughout the book show how the mathematics can be used in practice and enable students to gain a thorough understanding of the material. --John Millett, University of Kent

It's a great refresher of the topics that serve as the foundation of a successful actuarial career. --Diane Evans, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
