Book excerpt: This books presents in a very compact way the fundamental aspects of financial mathematics. It provides the key concepts and tools a student needs to master the Exam FM of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Exam 2 of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS). This text benefits from the vision and experience of the author, who is a professor who has taught finance, insurance, and risk management for many years. The author is also a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. Students interested in econometrics, finance, statistics, mathematics, or other fields, will also find this book a useful tool to help them further their studies. This book can also be warmly recommended as a prerequisite reading to the students who consider taking, or are in the process of taking, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams. Indeed, the fixed income and company valuation material studied in the CFA syllabus is fundamentally based on the financial mathematics results shown in this book. This text does not just present the material; it furthers an understanding of the foundations of financial mathematics. This book does not include exercises because it is designed to be used with the (long) series of exercises made freely available by the Society of Actuaries. The tables in the appendix link the exercises of the Society of Actuaries with the equations in the book. These tables can be a very convenient tool for providing hints for the exercises that the student cannot solve - instead of going directly to the solutions. The order in which the contents of this book are presented mostly respects the order of the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society syllabi. Very few adjustments were made to this order and they were done for pedagogical improvement reasons only. This text is the second one in a series dedicated to actuarial associateship exams. In each of these books, conceptual links between the contents of the various exams are provided. This book was also written in such a way that you can use it throughout your career. This book is the book the author would have liked to have when he took the Exam FM of the Society of Actuaries. It contains all the formulas that are useful to solve the official exercises of the SOA. This book is compact, theoretically solid, and not verbose. To benefit fully from this book, a mathematical background of at least one year of calculus after A-level is needed.

Download or read book YA Study Manual for SOA Exam FM 2024 written by Young Choon Kim and published by Young Advisory. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many students embarking on their actuarial science journey, their initial challenge often stems from confronting an array of unfamiliar symbols and formulas. In particular, the realm of financial mathematics can be daunting. The barrage of various symbols and formulas can be overwhelming, presenting students with two primary choices. Firstly, there's the route of memorization. While rote learning might offer a temporary respite and even a swift passage through Exam FM, it's not without its pitfalls. The absence of a deeper comprehension and an over-reliance on simple memorization can significantly elongate and complicate the journey towards passing the final actuarial exam. The alternative approach is comprehension. Admittedly, those who solely rely on memorization may find their progress stalling early on. They might even lag in problem-solving speed compared to their memorization-focused peers. Yet, it's this very commitment to grasping underlying concepts that ultimately pays dividends. Delving deep, facing challenges head-on, and fostering a genuine understanding can, paradoxically, hasten one's progress towards the final actuarial exam, making the journey smoother. This book caters to those who opt for comprehension over mere memorization. Through a myriad of analogies and illustrations, it seeks to demystify the concepts and formulas, rendering them more accessible. Unique visual solutions are incorporated to aid in tackling the problems set out by the SOA. Equipped with the insights from this book, I am confident that you will perceive Exam FM not as a towering obstacle but as an achievable milestone, transcending the pitfalls of mere rote learning.
