Obiettivi formativi

The main purpose is to introduce Insurance Mathematics, life and non-life, providing a general foundation to the mathematics of the insurance business, in which probability, individuals' and companies' behaviour towards risk play a fundamental role. Financial considerations are also important, as they affect life insurance policy choices.

Risultati dell'apprendimento attesi

 

Knowledge and understanding


Basic knowledge of mathematical modelling in life and non life insurance, ability to interpret most insurance policies from a mathematical point of view.

Applying knowledge and understanding


Ability to convert various policies into formulas, and to assess what is due by the counterparts of an insurance policy. Ability to implement actuarial formulas on a PC.

Making judgements


Students will be able to discern the different aspects in an insurance policy, whether actuarially founded or not.

Communication skills


Students will properly use in written expression the symbols of insurance mathematics, and will be able to interpret them (i.e., looking at a formula, be able to recognise the underlying facts).

Learning skills


The skills acquired will give students the opportunity of improving and deepening their knowledge of the different aspects of the practice of insurance. They will thus move comfortably in any work environment dealing with insurance problem-solving.
