Foundational Mathematics for Actuaries / CFA / FRM

Course OverviewBefore writing the Actuarial, CFA or FRM Exams, you need to have a solid understanding of Mathematics. In this course we will go through the International Actuarial Association syllabus requirements for Foundational Maths which is very similar to the requirement for CFA and FRM. We will look at Set Theory, Functions, Differentiation and Integration.

Once you have completed this course you will be able to attempt the Mathematical Statistics and Financial Mathematics exams of the Actuarial Profession.

I've been making educational videos since 2013 on YouTube.

I've passed all the actuarial exams and am here to help you do the same. I've majored in Mathematical Statistics and have published research in the South African Journal of Science on Artificial Intelligence. I've also done a Ted Talk on advanced studying methods.

As your instructor my purpose is to make sure you understand every concept in these courses. If you get stuck with anything, send me a message, I'm here to help.
