The creation of actuarial science

Abstract

Actuarial science was created more than 300 years ago. The article traces the influences which led to this development, which has been of such fundamental significance for calculations involving risk and finance and has enabled life assurance companies and pension funds to be financed on scientific principles. Actuarial techniques are nowadays starting to be applied in wider fields and it is suggested that the history of actuarial science could be taught in sixth forms and universities to students of risk and finance.
