Actuarial Science

By Poppy North

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns the world of actuarial science into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize.

Each letter introduces a core concept of the profession, from Age Groups and Beneficiaries to Yield and the Zone of Solvency. Along the way, young readers will discover Claims and Data, wrestle with Expected Value and Forecasts, and learn why an Outlier can ruin a perfectly good Mortality Table. With simple language, witty nods to the realities of risk modeling, and a tour through everything from Joint Probability and Key Assumptions to Net Premiums and Weighted Averages, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on what actuaries actually do all day.

Perfect as a gift for actuaries, underwriters, and insurance professionals with little ones at home, this is an ABCs book with just enough statistical truth to make you laugh - and maybe explain your job at the dinner table once and for all.
