Life, Death and Money: Actuaries and the Creation of Financial Security

Rating:
Summary: Actuarial Overview for beginners
Review: I must say that this is one of the most interesting Actuarial books I have come across in a long time. Not only does it give a historical overview of the profession but also gives a candid view on the normally "boring" perception the greater public usually has on Actuaries in general. It gives details of Actuarial dinners held (!) which attendees solve complex probability problems over dinner. With both insights into the actuarial profession in insurance and financial fields to name a few, Life, Death and Money : Actuaries and the Creation of Financial Security, should prove interesting reading on the train or bus.
