Actuarial History

A brief history of the development of the UK actuarial profession

[@johnkim8160]

Seeing any presentation surrounding the history of the actuarial profession and where it's headed is very interesting. However, there is a lot he doesn't cover. Firstly, I wish he had a lesser ethnocentric view of the actuarial profession although the presentation is about the history of the actuarial profession in the U.K. The context of how probability began being studied in modern times is hardly explained except with the oversimplification that religion discouraged such. Lastly, he also doesn't cover the merger of the Institute of Actuaries and the Faculty of Actuaries which was major event. He also doesn't mention what implications this may have when such is among the greatest historical changes to this profession in the U.K.

John, take it easy. It's not meant to be used in preparation for an exam on the subject!

I must be coming down with something - this was utterly fascinating!
