• Sommario/riassunto: "We hope you enjoy this book and find it useful. Those who understand interest theory can be informed borrowers, making intelligent choices about mortgages and other loans, and they can also be wise investors. We anticipate that the majority of our readers will be interested in exploring actuarial careers. However, among our enthusiastic students, we have counted many who just felt that this was material they would like to understand; they found it interesting and applicable. Interest rates affect us all! The authors have frequently been told that the course for which the book was designed was a student’s “favorite” in his or her college career — and this was not just by students in the University of Texas’ actuarial program! With this in mind, we have tried to write a book that will be appealing to any student who wishes to become familiar with how investments grow over time, and who appreciates this being carried out in a mathematically precise manner."--page xiii, Preface.
