Description: This is a book review of 'Pension Mathematics for Actuaries' by Arthur W. Anderson. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1985, Vol. 37.

Description: The objective of this paper is twofold. First, a pedagogical approach is taken to derive the pension plan gain and loss formulas by extending the mathematical theory underlying the actuarial funding methods. It is the author's intent to emphasize the similarities between gain and loss formulas developed for individual funding methods and the formulas developed for aggregate funding methods. Indeed, the formulas are fundamentally identical. The second objective is to afford the reader an opportunity to reinforce understanding by providing two comprehensive numerical examples and analyzing actuarial experience by source. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1981, Vol. 33.

Description: This discussion examines miscellaneous topics. Topics include actuarial training, final salary pension plans and hospitalization and surgical insurance. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1960, Vol. 12, No. 34.
