The module introduces a range of topics in calculus and probability. In particular, the module covers an introduction to differentiation and integration as well as techniques to solve well defined problems. The module also covers the solution of basic differential equations and provides an introduction to probability theory, establishing a foundation for further study in mathematics, science, and engineering.
This module introduces key ideas in algebra and functions that form the building blocks for further study in mathematics. It begins with a review of number systems and algebraic techniques before moving on to polynomials, equations, and inequalities. Students will explore functions and their graphs, develop confidence in manipulating algebraic expressions, and be introduced to the concept of complex numbers. The module also covers sequences and series and shows how functions can be represented using power series. The emphasis is on building understanding and problem-solving ability, with frequent use of graphical representation to support learning.
This module addresses key sections of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries Core Principles,namely CM2 5.1 and 5.2, in addition to Bayesian Statistics.
This module will introduce students to sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries CM1 syllabus. This module covers a detailed analysis of cashflows and interest rates with actuarial applications.
This module will introduce students to sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries CM1 syllabus. This module covers the actuarial pricing structure of life assurance and annuity contracts, including a variety of payment and premium structures as well as two-life policies.
