The Development of the Conception of Actuarial Science
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the historical aspects of actuarial methods. The aim is to fix regularity in that development, which can explain some specific features of the modern approach to actuarial science. That approach consists of understanding actuarial methods not as technical tools, but as a universal technique of risk and financial management for insurers. There is a comparison between «old» and modern approaches to actuarial science in this paper.
