At the first lecture, the course syllabus was presented to comprise 1) theory and applications as presented during the lectures 2) training exercises and 3) written notes/articles to be disseminated during the course.

I am not aware of any single textbook well suited for the course. However, one textbook that covers many of the topics of the course is: Harry Panjer et. al.: Financial Economics, with Applications to Investments, Insurance and Pensions. ISBN 0-938959-48-4.

The training exercises ("oppgaver") will not be translated to English.

Stoff for gjennomgang på forelesning mandag 18. januar og oppgave 1 til mandag 25. januar er nå lagt ut under undervisningsmateriale.

I dette kurset vil vi beskrive, modellere og analysere komplekse og sammensatte fenomener som innebærer både forsikringsmessig og finansiell risiko, og vi vil vise hvordan ulike modeller kan operasjonaliseres ved hjelp av computer-basert regnekraft. Fenomenene vi studerer vil være forankret i reelle problemstillinger som forsikringsselskaper og pensjonskasser står overfor.

Undervisningen legges opp som en blanding av teorigjennomgang og oppgaveløsning, herunder utstrakt bruk av computer for konkrete beregninger.

Betydelig egeninnsats gjennom oppgaveløsning er en forutsetning for å få utbytte av kurset.
