This
set of comprehensive notes covers all of the
syllabus learning outcomes specified by the
SOA/CAS. They include over 140 worked examples.
In addition, at the end of each chapter there
are self-test questions - over 180 in all,
of which 144 are new exam-style questions
written by BPP.
The
third edition of the textbook has updated the
first two versions for typographical errors. We
have also expanded Chapter 4 in light of comments
from students.
Our
