The Convergence of Mathematics and Actuarial Science Research.
A new paradigm is evolving in actuarial science -- one that takes its
traditional mathematical foundation and enhances it with theories and
techniques from the fields of finance and advanced mathematics. This
session will explore current trends in actuarial science research, with
emphasis on areas of convergence with mathematics. Examples of actuarial
science research topics which will benefit from collaboration with
mathematicians include financial mathematics, stochastic calculus, and fuzzy
set theory.
