About the actuarial course? How to study?
The undergraduate course suggests taking the following courses: western economics, finance, accounting, financial management, securities market analysis, portfolio principle, life insurance actuarial and non-life insurance actuarial. To lay a good foundation in mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics are the key points. Actuarial examination, which is popular at present, is the series of SOA in North America, actuaries in China and actuaries in Britain. It is recommended to take the North American series, which is more recognized in China! Zhongjing's gold content is relatively low, there are too many people passing by, and the competitive advantage is too small. Please refer to the website of Baidu China Actuaries Association for the exam content. Generally speaking, actuaries in China have much higher requirements for mathematics than SOA in North America, and the content of mathematics is getting more and more difficult ... and the requirements for economics are not low ~ ~ Although SOA in North America has lower requirements for mathematics, the difficulty of MFE, MLC and C has increased in recent years. However, compared with domestic actuaries, SOA in North America has higher requirements for the economy, especially for the later exams. Unlike basic courses, SOA requires economic analysis in English, which is a great test for domestic candidates. Here are some materials I have found, which I hope will be useful to you.

1. What is actuarial science? Actuarial science has a history of 300 years in the west. It is a discipline that specializes in the quantitative methods and techniques for insurance industry and other financial industries to deal with various risks, and it is the theoretical basis for the development of modern insurance industry, financial investment industry and social security. At present, actuarial science has penetrated into all fields of commercial insurance, playing an increasingly important role in investment institutions, social welfare organizations, government consulting and regulatory agencies.

2. What is an actuary? Actuaries refer to individuals whose qualifications are recognized by financial and insurance regulatory agencies. Actuaries have extensive skills in mathematics, statistics, finance, organization and analysis. They use actuarial knowledge to evaluate underwriting risks, determine insurance rates, set aside reserves, arrange reinsurance amounts, and conduct repayment tests. Traditionally, actuaries are mostly used in insurance companies and participate in the design of social security system, but today actuaries are more widely distributed, such as commercial banks, financial intermediaries, long-term capital projects and so on. Actuaries can play a role in any field that needs to deal with risks. Compared with accountants, lawyers and doctors, actuaries are a smaller and more professional profession. According to Jobs Rated Almanac of Les Krantz (1999), the actuary was rated as the best profession in the United States. It is predicted that there will be at least 60 domestic insurance companies and 20 foreign insurance companies in China by 20 10. At present, the number of actuaries is far from meeting the needs of China's insurance industry development. Therefore, it is urgent to cultivate internationally recognized actuarial talents.
