Abstract: Abstract Actuarial science is receiving increasing amounts of attention at business schools and other academic institutions. Actuaries assess the likelihood of, and develop products to manage, the effects of uncertain events such as accidents, illness, or the timing of death. They are most often employed by insurance companies, but can also work on benefit and pension plans or risk management strategies for individual companies, or they can take on a variety of roles in the financial industry. And recently, actuaries have moved into new areas of expertise such as catastrophe modeling, enterprise risk management, and predictive modeling.
