  • ASCI 3000: ACTUARIAL SEMINAR I

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    Actuarial Seminar I is a capstone seminar on topics from calculus, mathematical statistics, and insurance and risk management. It challenges the students preparation for the Course 1 examination of the Society of Actuaries. Based on a sound foundation in Calculus 1 through III and mathematical statistics, the theory will be applied to problem solving, using classification and other approaches. Prerequisites: COSK2220 or COSK2225 and STAT3140

  • ASCI 3150: FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    This course provides a systematic development of the mathematical models most frequently used in the study of corporate finance. The course builds on the valuation methods for cash flows developed in Theory of Interest and applies these methods to problems in corporate finance and investment theory. Models studied include dividend growth, the capital asset pricing model, protfolio theory, Modigliani-Miller theory, and Black-Scholes option valuation. Prerequisite: ASCI3100

  • ASCI 4000: ACTUARIAL SEMINAR II

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    This course provides training in the theory of interest, finance, and economics as well as other material pertinent to the actuarial exam Course 2, jointly administered by the SOA and the CAS. The course is structured to allow students to engage in directed self-study in preparation for the exam. Class time will be used for discussion, analysis, bench-marking of progress, and as a general clearing-house for guidance on specific problems. A detailed "deconstruction" of the previous Course 2 exams will provide the central, organizing theme for the course of study. 3 credits. Prerequisite: ASCI3100

  • ASCI 4200: STATISTICAL MODELING I

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    This is the first of a two course sequence in statistical modeling that covers widely applicable (both actuarial and non-actuarial) methods in probability and statistics. These courses are designed to lay the mathematical foundations for students preparing for advanced professional actuarial exams. They also serve to provide and introduction to mathematical modeling techniques useful for a wider audience of quantitatively oriented students in business and finance, and science and engineering. Course ASCI4200 (AS410) consists of a comprehensive survey of probability distributions used in mathematical models, and the modeling of discrete and continuous time stochastic process, including Markov, compound Poisson and Brownian motion processes. 3 credits Prerequisites: STAT3140 and STAT3150
