Teaching material:
Textbook material and lecture notes by T. Møller and M.
Steffensen. The Nordic summer school is planned to occur regularly,
with two-year intervals.
For more details, please see the
Program.
The course will be
elementary and introductory. It is aimed at the actuaries in the Nordic
countries, interested actuaries from outside Scandinavia and Finland,
insurance mathematicians from academic institutions and graduate
students specializing in applied probability, statistics or insurance
mathematics. The course language will be English. The teaching will be
supported by lecture notes provided by the lecturers, and will be
complemented by practical computer exercises. The computer exercises
will be based on Excel. Since we only have a limited number of laptops,
participants are requested to bring a laptop with Excel.
The workshop is relevant
to actuaries who attended the courses on market values arranged by the
Danish Actuarial Association during 2001 and 2002, although the workshop
also gives an introduction to financial mathematics. The workshop
differs from the market value courses both in structure (for example
computer exercises) and in contents (for example derivatives and risk
management).
The course will be held
at Såstaholm
Konferens in Täby (ca 20 min from Stockholm, 25 min from
Arlanda airport). Click here for road
