To begin with, I think that this book is written for those who already have a familiarity with the material. Just so you know my experience with this book, I took a college math course where this was the required text. I soon found out, that the examples through the chapter were decent, but the questions at the end had little or no correlation to those previously read in the chapter. I should add that what made these questions decent is that you could decipher the meaning of the chapter examples because the examples solutions were directly after.I think that if the author spent a little more time making the review problems a little more understandable and similar to those seen previously, than thinking up different names for the people in every single problem, He may have written a decent book. And that is a BIG MAYBE!If you are thinking of purchasing this book to prepare for the Actuary FM Exam, DON'T. Stick to the ones on the SOA recommended list, or one of the Temple or Actex study manuals.
I used this text in a class designed to prepare me for my FM exam. It didn't. The text has some usefull calculator exercises but the homework problems are not comensurate with the level of difficulty in the section examples. If you are preparing for the actuarial FM exam, don't use this book. Stick to the texts reccomended by the SOA and CAS.
If it hadn't been a required textbook, I won't buy this.It is written too technical for a beginner and I had to struggle with it.I thought it was just me, but when I ask my classmates, a few of them have the same problem......be prepared to spend time re-reading it a few times before understanding the material presented in some areas.
I'm a computer engineering and math double major. I took a math class about interest and this is the book associated with the class. This is one of the worst books, the sections do not prepare you for the end of chapter problems. The questions are unclear it's either that they need to improve the questions or the sections. This book sucks, I rated it 1 star because there are no negative stars. This is the worst book ever. I was so angry at this book I actually burnt it after I was done with that class. Waste of money, waste of time. Infact my I.Q. probably decreased after reading this book and attempting the excersises at the end of the chapter.
