Description: From June 11 through August 3, 2007, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [UIUC] hosted a National Science Foundation-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates on the topic 'Stochastic Modeling in Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics.' This Experience, provided to 6 undergraduate mathematics students from universities across the United States, was directed by Professor Rick Gorvett, the Director of the UIUC Actuarial Science Program. This report summarizes the program and describes the research projects undertaken.

Description: A brief review of a successful conference for young researchers in actuarial science and risk management.

Description: Book Review from The Actuary, September 1989 – Volume 23, No. 8. Actuarial Mathematics by N. Bowers. H. Gerber. J. Hickman, D. Jones and C. Nesbitt. Published by the Society of Actuaries, 1986.

Description: The December 2013/January 2014 edition of The Actuary magazine—the Society of Actuaries’ flagship publication.

Description: This paper describes the nature of a multimedia computer-based colloquium and demonstrates how the technology can be used within an actuarial science instruction setting and describes the steps taken to ease the transition into this environment. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1992 Vol. 1 .

Description: This paper derives limited fluctuations credibility results for the Generalized Linear Model GLM and the extended case of generalized linear mixed model GLMM. It shows how credibility depends on the sample size, the distribution of covariates, and the link function. This provides a mechanism to obtain confidence intervals for the GLM and GLMM estimators.

Description: The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is dedicated to advancing education and research for the actuarial profession. As part of its mission, the SOA recognizes the importance of partnering with colleges and universities to help develop future actuaries. With this in mind, the SOA’s Research Department is holding a Student Research Case Study Challenge, which provides an opportunity for teams of students to apply their actuarial skills on a real-world problem in a business setting.
