This course introduces the key concepts of financial mathematics and financial instruments with an emphasis on applications in the actuarial field. It is intended to prepare students for Exam 2/FM (Financial Mathematics), which is jointly sponsored and administered by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. If you are not interested in pursuing an actuarial career, this course could also be for you if you are interested in finance!
*Note: Since actuarial exams can be taken in any order for credit, Exam 1/P is NOT a prerequisite to Exam 2/FM. In addition, there is little-to-no overlap in coursework between Exam 1/P and Exam 2/FM.
