Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science V2: Tables (1905)

Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science Volume 2: Tables is a book written by Miles Menander Dawson and originally published in 1905. This book is a comprehensive guide to actuarial science, which is the discipline of using mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk and uncertainty in financial systems, particularly in the insurance industry. The book is specifically focused on providing practical lessons in the use of actuarial tables, which are mathematical tools used to calculate the probability of certain events occurring, such as the likelihood of a person dying at a certain age or the probability of a certain disease occurring. The book includes a wide range of tables for different scenarios, such as mortality tables, annuity tables, and life insurance tables. The author provides detailed explanations of how to use each table, including step-by-step instructions and examples. He also discusses the underlying mathematical concepts and assumptions behind each table, as well as the limitations and potential sources of error. Overall, Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science Volume 2: Tables is a valuable resource for anyone working in the field of actuarial science, as well as students and researchers interested in the mathematical and statistical aspects of finance and insurance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
