Actuarial Mathematics FM is intended for, but not limited to actuarial science majors. The course is designed to provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics, and how those concepts are applied in calculating present and accumulated values for various streams of cash flows. A substantial portion of the course is dedicated to problem solving in a preparation for the Society of Actuaries (SOA) “Exam FM”.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
MAT 310 Probability with a grade of "C" or higher.
Covers the theory of groups, rings and fields.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
MAT 299 with a grade of "C" or higher.
Mathematical Statistics is intended, but not limited to mathematics and actuarial science majors. This course focuses on inferential statistics and the theory of estimation. It covers a number of different methods of estimation, including the method of moments and the method of maximum likelihood. Students will become familiar with the construction of confidence intervals for unknown parameters, and construction of hypothesis tests via the likelihood ratio.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
MAT 201 (or equivalent) and
MAT 310 Probability with a grade of "C" or higher.
Involves independent study directed by a full-time mathematics faculty member on a topic agreed upon by the faculty member and the student. May be repeated for credit if subject matter varies.
Credit Hours: 1-4
Prerequisites

MAT 299 with a grade of "C" or higher. If the class is taken in place of MAT 490, then the student must have completed at least four (4) mathematics courses numbered MAT 300 or above.
This internship exposes the student to a real-life learning experience. Students are hired by an organization for the specific objective of gaining work experience in that organization. The internship might be paid or unpaid, for a variable number of credit hours (1-4). A student should work 56 hours for one credit hour. The internship should be in the actuarial field or other math-related fields, previously approved by the instructor.
Credit Hours: 1-4
Prerequisites
Junior or senior standing with a GPA of 2.25 or higher.
Subject may be chosen from point-set topology, partial differential equations, combinatorics, graph theory or other topics.
Credit Hours: 1-4
